Did you see Marty McFly and Doc Brown materialize today in a DeLorean car? Remember, today is October 21, 2015, the same day the two time travelled here in "Back to the Future II." If they did arrive today, I am sure they would be disappointed to see no hover boards. However, the good news for them is that they could easily conjure up a video of Marty McFly on a hover board simply by viewing the movie on a smartphone, a device absent from the movie.
Okay, your humble correspondent is a big fan of the "Back to the Future" series but I feel compelled to cast more than a bit of aspersion upon the veracity of "Back to the Future" writer Bob Gale who is claiming that the character of Biff Tannen was based upon Donald Trump despite the fact of no mention of this before Trump's presidential run. First let us analyze the claim made in the Daily Beast and then we shall see why it is probably not true.

A retroactively convenient memory. Biff Tannen's character was originally created in the 1980 draft of the script, years before Trump owned a casino or was even nationally well known.

I suppose it makes sense to those who believe PIAPS was named after Sir Edmond Hillary.

Truth doesn’t matter to the left. Never has, never will.

Doesn’t matter if it’s not true, it makes for good narrative, and therefore it’s good enough for Hollyweird ...

The writer has Trump confused with Klintoon. Klintoon was/is a rapist. Trump never had that accusation leveled against him.

I guess that the Marty McFly character was based on Bobby Jindal.
