In 1958, when Donald Trump was only 16 years old, somebody somewhere foresaw his future and tried to warn us. It’s worth a watch.
Honey, Nostradamus ain’t got nothing on mid century black and white westerns.
Too bad we don’t get to see the ending.
Thanks to Mary in San Antonio for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
My first reaction was skepticism that this was an actual, un-doctored clip, but it’s authentic. See Snopes at https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trackdown-trump-character-wall/ for more background.
1Too bad this wasn’t played during the campaigns.
2He could be named Nostradumbass.
3I presume the guy at the end is named “Mueller”….what a hoot!
4Another add bit of media overlap is that the first head DA on Law and Order was named Aam Schiff
5Same name as California Congressman who as head of the house intelligence committee preparing to bring the hammer down on putins puppy
With Robert (Mueller) Culp as the hero.
6I like the guy who calls him a snake-oil salesman and the narrator’s reference to him as “the high priest of fraud”–so perfectly fitting the current version!
“Grand theft, fraud–I think the jury will find it stealin’…”
Yep, a great fit!
7Talk about precognition. The producers even got it down to, “I alone can fix it”! Now, that’s creepy.
I see that, at age 16, Trump hadn’t yet grown his comb-over.
8The TV Trump (is that redundant?) even threatened to sue if the hero kept talking smack about him.
When it comes to Trump, there is a tweet for everything. There may even be an old TV show about everything.

Now we have Commander-in-Chief McBragg!
tRump was 12 in 1958.
11I wonder if boy Trump saw this and got his wall idea from it. A pity more people haven’t figured out that “I alone can fix it” is a key sign of snake oil.
12Youtube has the full episode. Also worth watching. Type in Trackdown Trump and click on the ~23 minute video. And yes, well worth it!
13The MeTV network has been running the 1950’s “Trackdown” western series episodes every Saturday morning for a long time, so this episode isn’t ‘new’ news. I saw it back in October, when it made a media splash.
MeTV has since rerun it a couple of times, out of their usual chronological sequence order. So they must be deliberately giving it more exposure (it was on again the Saturday before last).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeTV
“MeTV (an abbreviation for Memorable Entertainment Television) is an American broadcast television network that is owned by Weigel Broadcasting and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[4] Marketed as “The Definitive Destination for Classic TV,” the network airs a variety of classic television programs from the 1950s through the early 1990s… MeTV is carried on digital subchannels of affiliated television stations in most markets; however, some MeTV-affiliated stations carry the network as a primary affiliation on their main channel, and a small number of stations air select programs from the network alongside their regular general entertainment schedules. The network is also available nationwide on free-to- air C band satellite via SES-1 in the DVB-S format,[5] (and on ATT and Dish)”
