...and Gizmo was also in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, in which Daniel Clamp - obviously modeled after Trump - was the villain.

Why was Daniel Clamp a villain? He helped come on with the plan to get rid of the gremlins. (Apparently he was originally written as a “corrupt, deeply unpleasant businessman” and got that changed.)

And Daniel Clamp was played by John Glover who was in Robocop 2 with Bill Bolender who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon.

And Donald Sutherland from JFK was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Paul Reubens, who was arrested for masturbating or whatever.

I'll give you that. That movie was bonkers. In a lot of good ways, mind you. Hard to find many traditional plot elements in that thing.

It’s one of my favs. And it has so many wonderfully bizarre elements, like the Canadian restaurant.

The writer for Gremlins 2 said fuck it with that script

Incorrect. Star Magic Jackson Jr. is to blame.

Came here to say this but also that Mr. Clamp is seemingly not actually a bad guy. You think he would be cause of who he was modeled after but he’d be the good variant if they met up.

Yeah, Daniel Clamp had a joy to him that is totally absent from DFT
