Watched it again this past week. Still is a wonderful movie, albeit the script is a bit dated but then it was shot in 1950. The plot, acting, and cinematography is fantastic.
I can't imagine what of its aspects the Insurrectionist-in-Chief' considers good, considering his inability to think deeply about anything other than his putz.
The movie I think he secretly reveres is "Chinatown" with the ever great John Huston playing Noah Cross, a multimillionaire and political player, who treats people like garbage, plays games with names (i.e. he calls Jake Giddis, "Mr. Gitts") and raped his daughter.
While the last example may only be the Porcine Pol's fantasy, Trump probably thinks the Cross character is a fraud because his home in Bel Aire actually has class compared to the over-ripe décor of Norma Desmond's mansion and his Mar-a-Tasteless hotel/home.
Norma murdered her enemy and got her picture in every newspaper in the country. She was the star! The fact that she would spend her life in a padded cell escaped her feeble brain. I think it escaped Trump's as well.
Norma was famous and beloved by her fans but got dumped out by the studio. I see Trump was famous and beloved by his fans, but the big Manhattan muckily-mucks never accepted him and the political "elites" didn't either. So he and Norma are alike. I doubt the thinking went beyond that.
