The growing cult convinced Donald Trump's son Barron is a time traveller destined to be... America's Caesar

Trump knows that Barron has a strange hold on the affections of many of his most hardened supporters. And if there's anything more outlandish than the personality cult that surrounds him, it's the one that is rapidly developing around his youngest child. ... These cherry-picked details helped spawn a bizarre theory – eagerly taken up by pro-Trump tin-foil hatters - that Donald and Barron are time-travellers and that Barron will one day become an all-conquering 'American Caesar'.

My favorite time travel fiction pieces are the Chinese and Korean dramas where a character from the past time travels to present time and adjusts to the new world.

Today...yes; however, it does have something to do with the story line. In 1988, when it was required reading, it didn't translate into what is going on today.

And FWITW, complaining about the book DID get it removed from the syllabus, I'm happy to say.

[nopardons]

Not my cuppa, but sounds interesting.

That bodes well for him, and I hope it’s true. Thank you for passing on the report.

Quantum Leap had that same scientific requirement.

I can’t watch modern American TV anymore and I used TO LOVE IT. Too liberal and usually too disgusting. Chinese and Korean have a morality more similar to the 50’s midwest in which I was raised. It’s just beginning to change in some of the modern ones, but not yet gone enough to turn them all off. Major problems with them for me turn out to be fascinating studies in cultural differences. Slapping seems to be a national sport. Also big into dominating boss dramas.

IIRC (I was very young at the time), Roman Dictators were appointed for a short period of time (a few months) to solve a particular problem. And, until Sulla, they typically gave up their powers afterwards.

DJT has said Barron is 6-9 in a speech recently

I haven't watched ANY American T.V. programs ( excluding baseball ) in decades. The actors can't act, the scripts are garbage, the there is NO redeeming quality at all.

So I watch Brit series, most of which are now also utter garbage.

Having grown up during the "GOLDEN AGE OF T.V.", I know just how good it used to be. The difference is night & day!

Thankfully, TCM show great old movies and old American and Brit series are on YouTube.

[nopardons]

He said 6'7", when he mention the exact figure.

I watch his rallies and haven't heard him say ( he usually just says: VERY TALL ), 6'7". In what speech/rally did he give the numbers you claim he said?

[mairdie]

Yes, British TV! Watch a lot of it. Husband is now going thru Father Browne again.

I actually wrote movie scripts for a few years. Was represented by Grisham’s NYC book agent and subcontracted out to Writers & Artists in Hollywood for 2 years. Romantic comedies. Vampire comedy and another Werecub comedy. Scriptwriting is an absolutely fascinating box to work in.

I saw that number, too, in a Daily Mail previous article.

Sadly, one of THE best series EVER made, by the Brits: TENKO, isn't available on line and the DVD set costs a HUGE amount of money. :-(

OTOH...there are quite a few MYSTERY series on YouTube.

And a series that I had NEVER heard of ( Ceder Tree ), was mentioned by a Brit YouTuber I watch and that is on YouTube ( the full series) and is wonderful!

[nopardons]

I bet it is. Good for you!

[mewzilla]

Have you seen the Sister Boniface Mysteries...?

Also excellent!

Recently. Within the last month

Because I make music videos, we buy every series we watch. And, yes, some of the prices make me grit my teeth. We watch a lot of British mysteries. It’s just that I don’t have music videos of them. We stopped Dr Who when it went lib and that’s a big hole in our watching life.

Found this online:
To watch all episodes of Tenko subscribe to BritBox (see below). From Monday Jan 3 2022, Tenko will be shown on UKTV Drama daily at 2.15pm. Britbox is the No. 1 way to watch all your favorite British shows from the BBC and ITV.

No. I’ll take a look. Many thanks for the suggestions. Husband has just finished yet another pass thru our DVD collection and is getting antsy. That might help.
