Did a TV writer 60 years ago predict Trump?

Did a writer 60 years ago predict Trump? This is an episode from a TV show named Trackdown from 1958.

The story (in case you dont want to watch it):

A conman named Trump tricks the gullible people of a small Texas town by telling them that if they give him money, he'll give them a wall of protection against an impending doom that only he knows about and only he can save them from. The "High Priest of Fraud" is what the show calls him. In the end, he gets arrested by the local lawman and then gets betrayed and taken down by his own accomplice in crime.

...

Was this man a modern Nostradamus? Was he a time traveler who went back in time to try to warn us? How did this man predict the future with such accuracy?

LMAO! just saw this on FB

I don't even know what to say, I'm just shocked.

Lol

Replace the conman with a grapefruit and the story will be spot on

Who still uses Facebook?

Also, "Trump hasn't given him a thing to go on." Congressional Republicans have been saying the same thing about the Mueller probe.

The similarities are pretty remarkable. At first I wondered if it was a fake video or something. But it's totally real.

Damn lol.

People with friends and family and a social life in general? Lmao I never heard anyone say this.

Who really knows. Could be coincidence.

Further proof that the more things change, the more they stay the same or that time is cyclical.

On a side note, pretty cool to see Robert Culp of The Greatest American Hero back in his youth.

Yeah, i was watching that video and the guy looked familiar, and then it hit me that it was Robert Culp! Man, I loved the Greatest American Hero back in the day when I was a kid. I keep hearing that they're going to do a remake. I hope it's good... but probably it will suck like almost every other remake.

=(

@willpayton: They ordered a pilot for a Greatest American Hero remake starring Hannah Simone of the sitcom New Girl, but then they backed out, so us fans of the original are still waiting. There is, however a cute, but obviously amature web series on Youtube which will only take about a half-hour of your life.

Holy cow

I'll check it out, thanks.
