One of the most striking visuals in Idiocracyfor me are the vast plains dominated by towering garbage heaps.

I would have thought that former pro-wrestler-turned-actor Jessie "The Body" Ventura serving as the governor of Minnesota or bodybuilder-turned-actor Arnold Schwarzenegger acting as governor of California would have been the closest we'd ever get to Terry Crews' delightfully over-the-top President Camacho. Then came Donald Trump. Though he clearly ...
