Trump's Breakfast
If Trump were a character in the Breakfast Club, who would he be?
I think Trump is most like the abstract human-like sculpture in the center of the library. He is large, imposing, and looks kind of strange but doesn't do much.
The fact that the statue is visible in almost every scene is reminiscent of Trump's tweets. They are constantly there but not saying much. Unfortunately, like the statue, if Trump falters he could do real damage to everybody around him.
The statue's highlight in the film is having a piece of cold cut slapped on its face by Ally Sheedy. That would be the representation of his Presidency. He looked at that cold cut from a distance and thought he deserved it, thought it would be good, thought he would know what to do with it better than anyone else. But in the end, it just slapped him in the face. Come on, the statue doesn't even have a mouth! And this is a lot like Trump because he has none of the requisite skills required to handle the Presidency.
Finally, like Trump's Presidency, it will fall off like an unceremonious piece of cold cut falling to the floor... or was that the United States falling to the floor? Guess we'll have to wait and see…
