4. Just off the top of my head: The remake of The Longest Yard

The original was a classic, surely didn't need a remake, and... Adam Sandler? No. Just.. No. The whole idea of remaking that movie was a dumb one from the get-go - much like electing a corrupt, evil, vindictive crook and reality TV idiot to run the country.

Star Trek V, unlike Drumpf, at least had potential. There was a good story and script there, and the whole thing fell apart thanks to poor production. While Star Trek V is easily the most disappointing of the original crew/series movies, it should've been good.

Drumpf never had potential, and, the only "script" with him is the whole "smart, tough, no-nonsense businessman" myth that the media and NBC (especially the latter thanks to The Apprentice) helped cultivate and made the nightmare become a reality. Without NBC's help, Comrade Covfefe would've been seen as what he truly was - an incompetent, multi-bankruptcy crook with a history of adultery.
