The San Francisco Chronicle stated that "the character's speech is so similar to the president-elect's, it almost seems as if Donald Trump borrowed some catchphrases from Walter Trump.
In "The End of the World", a rabble-rousing doomsayer named Walter Trump (played by Lawrence Dobkin) comes to town. He scares the townsfolk with talk of an impending disaster and claims to be the only person who can save them – by building a wall. He also threatens to sue Hoby when accused of dishonesty. By the end of the episode, he is arrested as a conman and fraud.
The coincidental similarity to Donald Trump's name and proposed border wall was noted after his 2016 election. Vanity Fair wrote that "of all the books and movies that presaged the rise of our reality-TV president... none are so eerily on the nose as this once-obscure, 1958 episode of Trackdown in which a demagogue named Trump attempts to convince a town that only he can save its citizens... by building a wall." The Wrap asked, "Want to talk about a weird coincidence?.... Some may call this episode titled 'The End of the World' the ultimate illustration of life imitating art, considering the episode aired May 9, 1958... it is pretty amusing, especially when the TV character threatens, 'Be careful, son. I can sue you.'
People actually still vote...?
Talking Heads - Blind (1988)
David's Talking To You: Wrench & Talmud, an eight cipher match.
Blind = 113 (Primes)
Voting = 33 (Full Reduction) & 113 (Francis Bacon)
Election = 33 (Chaldean) & 232 (Jewish) vs. [Satan = 232 (Jewish)]
Educated = 322 (Jewish) & Selection = 322 (Jewish)
Old David knew VOTING was a scam back in 1988...
