The spooky prescience of the 2006 movie, Idiocracy

First read Why pro wrestling is the perfect metaphor for Donald Trump's presidency:

The video Trump used for the tweet came from an appearance Trump made in 2007 on the pro wresting juggernaut World Wrestling Entertainment. In the original footage, Trump clotheslines WWE CEO Vince McMahon, who is taunting "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

Seeing the President of these United States pummeling someone is beyond nauseating, even worse than him braying, "Get him out of here!" to his troglodytes on the campaign trail. This is absolutely a fire alarm.
