Was Trump an inspiration for the Big Ern character?


After re-watching this, I really did get a Donald Trump vibe from Big Ern. It would make sense if he was an inspiration for the character, Big Ern and Trump both seem to share lots of personality traits with one another lol

All the arrogance? The inability to accept when he screwed up? Sounds more like the current president.

No, but it's Gd5150 here who should be on your ignore list. It's the bot. Even calculating member posts! Early model.

Once you've seen one of his posts you've seen them all. Peace.

This predicted the future Donald Trump.

I think Pete Weber might have been. There's some YouTube videos of him trash talking and celebrating a good roll.

The comb over? Na, I think the Gambler dude (also in Groundhog Day) had similarities.

I thoroughly enjoy this movie, but there's one part of the movie that I nearly want to Puke, no kidding, and it's the scene where Roy Munson has to go down on his landlord to compensate for the rent and she smiles and her teeth are all rotten and she looks like she's in her late 70's while wheezing from smoking too much.

Don't knock it till you try it.

Not on an old lady like was in the movie with rotten teeth. Perhaps you're hard up, but I'm not
