10 Films That Predicted The Trump Presidency

4. Tin Men

A blunt, clearer at Trump's business practices isn't the self-aggrandizing Art of the Deal, but the Barry Levinson film Tin Men. Two aluminum siding salesmen - Danny Devito and Richard Dreyfuss- will go to extreme lengths to push their product, regardless of legality. Things get personal after they get into a car accident, after which Dreyfuss sets about seducing DeVito's wife.

If there's one thing we've learned from Trump's campaign, it's that he takes things personally. We've seen this more than ever in the wake of his impeachment, firing and re-stationing those who weren't loyal to him (as well as their uninvolved family members).

He's equal parts DeVito and Dreyfuss on Twitter. And, when someone attempts to take him down a peg, he has no shame in making brutal personal attacks that are immature and bombastic. The only thing the titular Tin Men are missing is a million-dollar loan from their fathers.
