(NationalSentinel) The truth as it pertains to President Donald Trump generally gets short shrift from Hollywood, but the nation’s current No. 1 movie, “Angel Has Fallen,” seems to give a backhand to the Left’s favorite lie: That our president and Russia ‘colluded’ to “steal the 2016 election” from Hillary Clinton.
In the film, Gerard Butler plays the lead character, Mike Banning, a former U.S. Army Ranger who is currently serving on the president’s Secret Service detail. Two previous “Fallen” films focused on Banning having to save President Benjamin Asher (played by Aaron Eckhart) from North Korean and Islamist terrorists. “Angel Has Fallen†finds Banning having to save himself from “deep state†forces who are attempting to frame him for colluding with Russia in an assassination plot against President Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman).
President Trumbell…President Trump….similar?
As Conservative Tribune notes, this isn’t giving anything away in the movie: Banning didn’t collude with Mother Russia; he’s completely loyal to America and to the president. But he has to prove that to rank-and-file FBI agents and the rest of the country after the frame job begins.
There’s even a scene where Banning makes contact with his hermit father, Clay, a Vietnam veteran who is living off-grid because he’s afraid of the government (played by Nick Nolte). If what’s happening to his son doesn’t validate Clay’s long-held beliefs about the government, nothing would.
The movie’s apparent slap down of Trump-Russia collusion was also noticed by Townhall editor and Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich.
“Saw this last night,†she tweeted Sunday. “The script is written after the Russia investigation! In a good way and eventually shows the whole thing was a government set up. The VP looks like [Treasury Secretary Steve] Mnuchin.â€

COMMENT BELOW
The inference is clear: “Trumbell” rhymes with dumbell.
just like “Dopic” rymes with “idiot.”
This “idiot” is a dedicated Trump supporter. I didn’t say I agreed with the inference,nonetheless, it is there. The context is that it is a not so hidden dig at President Trump. The movie may not be all it seems. Who is the real idiot?
I think you might have been clearer that your comment was an observation of Hollywood’s anti-Trump bias. Just a friendly observation.
and A**hole
So what is the actual named used? He says “Trumbull” then half a line later “Trumbell”. Trumbull aka Trump-Bull as in a China Shop? That really sounds like Trump. Trumbell makes just slight sense as the first four letters are like Trump.
Saw the movie today… great, just great… and, yes, I did see a few connects to the way things are/have progressed since our beloved President was sworn in by the Hand of God… great movie…
Can we all get together and just call him “The Chosen One” already, geez!
What is funny is that the Liberal Actors did not see it as the read the script and acted in the movie. Just another action flick. Wonder what they think of their own movie now.
lets not get too excited about trumbell being the president, he was the speaker of the house and then SEC DEF in the previous 2 movies, long before trump even hinted at running for president in any serious way.
that being said, if this movie is as good as the first two, I look forward to seeing it.
IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMETHING COMING OUT OF HOLLYWOOD IS TELLING THE TRUTH… INSTEAD LIES AND FABRICATIONS. I’D BE INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH RESISTANCE THE DIRECTOR AND THE PRODUCERS WHO PUT UP THE MONEY GOT IN MAKING THE MOVIE. ONE WOULD THINK THEY HAD A LOT OF RESISTANCE FROM THE COMMIE LEFT.
“forces trying who are attempting”? What? Huh?
