Air Force One by Andrew Marlowe

This viewer couldn't help thinking of the contrast and similarities between what America has at its top today and the fiction proposed by this motion picture.

The premise that some rogue communist rebels hijack Air Force One and then the president takes them on, almost singlehanded, in Die Hard fashion seemed so preposterous, but then Trump came along...
The man who lies about the weather and has more than 12,000 confirmed lies since he entered the Oval Office is much less credible than President James Marshall aka Harrison Ford.

And we're not talking of his permanent lying, the dementia which makes him say furniture instead of future, Apple instead of Cook, oranges for origins and we can write here for ages and it would not reach the end of his monstrous behavior.
The president from the film has been awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Vietnam War and meanwhile, the fool who leads the free world has had bone spurs, even if a diagnostic for mental issues would have been more accurate.

The terrorists in the movie are aghast that one of their leaders is in prison and they want him released, as a first measure, as soon as they capture the airplane, with help from an insider.
As this was happening to the hero of the film, this mischievous, awful bastard that writes this note could help imagining a versions of it...

What if Trump is caught, incapacitated or whatever?
Man, I tell you the obvious answer would be...

Wonderful!

Although, as a perverse, horrid symbol and representative of the US, it would be something to ponder first and then regret.
Otherwise, the contrast could not be more evident.
America has had wonderful presidents, although quite a few don't qualify, both in movies and real life.

But the fool who wanted to sign any deal with the taliban, invited to come to the USA, loves dictator Kim of North Korea, believed Putin over his own agencies is more like Ivan Korshunov aka Gary Oldman.
This Korshunov was the brute that leads the rebels on the plane, kills innocent civilians, Secret Agents and anybody who comes against him.

He would be great friends with Trump.
After all, the orange clown has a weak spot for Putin, the killer of Litvinenko and so many other opponents, the ruthless tyrant who has occupied Crimea and is nostalgic over the collapse of the Soviet Union, which he tries to reassemble, if he can.
