Donald Trump and It's a Wonderful Life

Donald Trump seems to have a thin skin when it comes to SNL poking fun at him. This Saturday was no different because SNL used It's a Wonderful Life to make fun of the president.

I look at the characters of  It's a Wonderful Life and think of Donald Trump as the Sam Wainwright character. "Hee-Haw!" is as annoying as "You're Fired" any day. They are both clowns that find success thanks to their fathers.

But let us look a little closer at the similarities of Sam Wainwright character to Donald Trump. Sam Wainwright is a New York playboy who doesn't seem able to commit to one woman, sounds a lot like Trump. He is greedy, like Trump. He doesn't have to fight during the war, just like Trump. I don't believe that Sam Wainwright had bone spurs, but for some reason, these two rich kids didn't have to fight during wartime. 

The real difference is that Sam Wainwright was willing to help a poor friend and Donald Trump really doesn't seem to have any friends.

Just think about how closely Donald Trump resembles Sam Wainwright more than he resembles George Bailey. I understand SNL needed the president wishing he was still the president for their joke to work.
