Prediction of tRumpism in 1958...it's a TV Western...must see...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lasher (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

Found this on YouTube....

A wedge view/insight into today....

My old friend Larry Dobkin guest-starred as "Trump" in this prophetic episode of the 1958 Western TV series "Trackdown," starring Robert Culp.... A CBS series then...

An episode of the 1950s series "Trackdown" featured a character named "Trump" who wanted to build a wall to stop the world from ending. It's resurfaced on social media, given the parallels to today's border controversy. CBSN contributor and Signal newsletter writer Willis Sparks takes us through the uncanny similarities.
