People saw a Star Wars movie playing on Air Force One and quickly thought, “this diabolical movie villain and the president of the United States are similar,” right?

It’s not comforting. But it is rather amusing.

Great, Trump is watching Rogue One. We really don't need him getting any ideas. pic.twitter.com/gBoVP9sKrB

I mean, if Trump stood next to Darth Vader isn't a sign from someone, I don't know what is.
