Star Trek Deep Space Nine - Dukat meets Trump

[Jimmy Higgins]

I am watching through Deep Space Nine... again... and in Season Six Episode Six, what was once just a scene about how self-deluded and aggrandizing Dukat was about himself and his role 'in the ole days of the Occupation', became something entirely else when I just watched it. The clip starts with Weyoun talking about how to crush the Federation, but at about 0:55 into the clip, Dukat starts. And it reminds me so much of Trump... and his recent whining about how the press doesn't appreciate how awesome of a job he has done. Weyoun watches him as John Kelly or Mattis or any other "professional" in his path, watching him celebrate himself, seeing how unbelievably full of himself he is.

Scifi is often amazingly prescient... of course, humans are also abysmally predictable, so it's a wash...
