Oh my god.

I think I get it.

Trump is Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, and we are Captain Willard, headed upriver to see the madness of the man and his rabid cadre.

Consider the similarities:

*A globular egomaniac with an odd dome.

*White militants who “carry out any order, however ridiculous” (John Millius script).

*Impotent yes men.

*Incomprehensible military goals.

*A nefarious adviser. 

*A delusional journalist.

*Fake Time magazine covers.

How did that flick end again?
