      I never thought of it till just now…

      But theres a shit ton of parallels between 3 amigos where a bunch of uneducated rural folks confuse TV actors for the charge total they portray…

      And modern rural Americans believing trump is tough genius business man because scripted “reality” TV sold that lie for decades.

      The difference is the Amigos rose to the occasion and helped the common people.

        I think it was struck on multiple times, my favorite will always been Back to the Future.

        The irony totally not lost that Biff was modeled after Trump and predicted him being a corrupt criminal and woman abuser waaaaaay before all this shit happened…
