    An absolutely marvelous 7-minute Stars War parody video of @realDonaldTrump as Darth Vader is blasting off YouTube -- https://youtu.be/KU_Jdts5rL0 -- with more than 360,000 views as I write this. Audio clips of Trump's utterances are substituted for the great pipes of James Earl Jones in the edited movie excerpts. Very clever, very well done. Recommended.

    The White House and the liberal MSM just don't get Trump. Other GOP candidates don't get Trump. The media coverage only fuels Trump's campaign and extends his reach to the public on the street. Even all of Trump's money couldn't buy all the coverage he now enjoys. I love it. The coverage stirs the pot of what wiuld be a dull, boring election defaulting to more of the same with an Alinsky-Cloward-Piven social progressive continuing tearing up a great country. The furor over "ban Muslim" comments exemplifies the idiocy. The "ban" is simply a measure to stop immigration only until a fix to the visa review and approval system -- clearly not working now -- is in place.

    Trump may not be the best candidate -- all have some level of shortcomings -- but he brings populist issues forward. And the White House, Democrats and MSM bite. Publicity, such as this YouTube vudeo, only spread the attention.

    Unfortunately the GOP is so paranoid over the MSM's attention to the edited snippets of Trump's statements, the collective has forgotten the mission is to take the White House, get spending and the national debt under control, correct an out-of-control tax system, and reduce the burden of regulations on business.

    Regardless, enjoy the video... especially if you are a Star Wars fan.

    LOL! OK, that was pretty funny. The "I am more militaristic than anyone in this room ..." on the bridge of the star destroyer was well done (2:40 minute-ish mark).

    Yeah, it would almost be funny if it wasn't so dangerous. With the popularity he seems to enjoy with God knows who...everybody I know doesn't like him..he seems to have a real possibility of getting the nomination. I can not believe with his outrageouness and lack of knowledge people seem to think he is the savior of the United States. I mean what in God's name does he have to do to get people to turn against him?

    haha got a good kick out of that one!
    As much as people hate Trump, the man is a political genius.
    I have to admit the man has moxie, his style just may win him the presidency.

    If anything this video only goes to show how bad a choice for President Trump will be if he's being parodied and compared to Darth Vader. A President is someone the public trusts and respects, someone who doesn't shout indecencies or proclaims hateful messages. The publicity surrounding Trump is only making the media companies richer and the average voter more confused. All of this doesn't seem right.

    I got a laugh out of this video. I think Donald Trump is arrogant and misinformed. He wouldn't be a good leader in my opinion. :p Thanks for sharing this video.

    Ah yes, the great moment where Trump said that the training he got at boarding school was better military training than our troops get..

    Best part of the vid was when Luke took off the helmet and they had Trumps hair on Darth.

    Baud... i just do not think you get it. The media and the democrats are GIVING Trump this attention on purpose. There is nothing better for the Dems than if Trump is the center of attention far into February and March. Why do you think Hillary brings him up at every debate and every speech? Her and Bill are not stupid, and are good politicians... they know what they are doing. Trump calling all latinos rapists, saying POWs are not heroes, saying he has more military training from boarding school than our servicemen and women? The Dems don´t even have to buy ads for this stuff, they just have to make sure he has a microphone in front of himself and it is all done for them. For the media, it is a double-win. Not only do they get to exhibit their liberal bias by helping the dems win, but they also get better ratings because Trump is more entertaining than most politicians this time of the election cycle.

    How right you are on this and I could not agree more. It seems these days despite all the shouts of political correctness, somewhere it became okay to portray officials in high positions as forms of comic relief. It was not always like this, and it is no limited to just the United States, the Royals have for a very long time been a fodder for jokes and the like. And yet people get all upset when they are called on this type of shenanigans.

    I am not a huge believer in censorship, but I do truly feel that somewhere along the way journalism has crumbled under the weight of social media. There is so much noise involved in everything these days, including politics, that it is extremely difficult to sift through all of it. This sets up a poor precedence when I comes to decision making, especially something as big as who will lead an entire country.

    Trump is playing the media like violins.

    With that said, I don't think a lot of his unique methods of campaigning in the US presidential election are the best ways to get the majority of the US electorate to vote for him.
