10 Films That Predicted The Trump Presidency

10. Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Before he got his hands on the actual Warner Bros. property, Joe Dante was aching to make a Looney Tunes movie. The closest he came was Gremlins 2: The New Batch which, in retrospect, is very much a live-action cartoon. Considering the success of the original, it's shocking what the studio allowed him to get away with.

But the best addition to the film is John Glover's brilliantly over-the-top portrayal of Daniel Clamp, owner of the Clamp Cable News network, among other enterprises. Clamp is clearly Trump as we knew him in the early 90s, with a dash of Ted Turner for good measure; nevermore is he the future president when we learn his network runs black and white movies, "Now in full colour...and with [happier endings]."

We now know the kind of film that Trump enjoys from eyewitnesses: namely just selected fight scenes from Bloodsport, with all the dialogue fast-forwarded.
