Trump reminds me of the little girl in the movie The Bad Seed.

[shockey80]

The little girl was a narcissist, who always put on a show pretending to be a nice little girl. She fooled many people, some people she could not fool, they knew she was evil. She always wanted everything her way. Anyone who insulted her, challenged her, got in her way, she would attack them with great vengeance.

The little girl got away with everything, she never paid a price for all her evil acts. Do you remember how the movie ends?

The movie ends with her suddenly being struck by lightning.

1. That's actually a really

Good description of Trump.

Yep - she tries to cover her tracks on Claude and gets struck by lightning.

2. God that girl was creepy. I haven't seen that movie in years, and just thinking about give me chills

N/t

3. and she is out in the storm only to retrieve a stolen good,

a medal worn by her murdered classmate. . .she was a thief as well as a serial killer. re:The Thief-in-Chief

[CurtEastPoint]

4. Yep. There she/he is. And you should remove the spoiler, please, at the end of your post. Or warn

[Croney]

5. I think it's ok to spoil a 1956 movie.

😁

8. I agree. 64 years is a pretty long spoiler moratorium.

Oh, and at the end of "City Lights" the girl gets her sight back but realizes the Little Tramp isn't a millionaire.

6. Spoiler alert: Hollywood changed the ending of the Broadway play & novel.

13. LOL, you beat me to it

I was going to post the same thing. The movie had to change the ending due to the production code. Could not have a criminal go unpunished.

7. In some ways yes

But the little girl was smarter than Trump. She was subtle and conniving, whereas Trump is impulsive and in-your-face. He definitely seeks vengeance against anyone who opposes him, but he doesn't even pretend that he's doing otherwise.

10. Only a "rich," white, male can get away with that.

Female sociopaths have to be smarter. Oh well.

[PatSeg]

12. Excellent point

Men are too inclined to want to show off, women play the long game better.

[OhZone]

15. So true.

I know I do.

[misanthrope]

9. Rhoda Penmark wasn't just a narcissist

She was a high-functioning sociopath or psychopath. She completely lacked the capacity for empathy.

14. That's one of my favorites.

John Waters loved it too, and later became friends with Patty McCormack. "Give me those shoes!"
That was one of the movies of the time that warned, "Do not reveal the ending…"
