Documentary Grey Gardens (and Trump) [View all]

Has anyone watched the documentary Grey Gardens? It is a documentary from 1975. Here is the wikipeida description:

Grey Gardens is a 1975 American documentary film by Albert and David Maysles. The film depicts the everyday lives of two reclusive, formerly upper class women, a mother and daughter both named Edith Beale, who lived in poverty at Grey Gardens, a derelict mansion at 3 West End Road in the wealthy Georgica Pond neighborhood of East Hampton, New York.


I see so many parallels to our current President. "Big Edie" and "Little Edie", Mother and Daughter, were "Socialtes". Big Edie's husband worked for her father, and purchased the estate, which she kept after the divorce. She continued to pursue her singing career afterwards (that days version of a reality performer). She kept up the lifestyle until in 1971 they found her house "full of litter, rife with the odor of cats and in violation of various local ordinances".

I think that our socialite reality performer President has taken over our estate, and it is now "full of litter, rife with the odor of cats and in violation of various local ordinances".
