This is going to be a very interesting four years. The similarities between Donald Trump and Biff Tannon from the Back to the Future movie are amazing. Remember Biff Tannon's Pleasure Palace in Hill Valley? Also Marty's mom definitely had some chest augmentation going on in that alternate future.

It is a funny thing how names work. Donald is a celtic name that means King of the World.
And that is what he has become. Very interesting...
Recently numerous news websites have published articles on the pre-immigration spelling of Donald Trump's surname, Drumpf. They correctly point out that the English translation of this German word is trump card; ironic given the man's heavy involvement with gambling enterprises. But the real origin of Trump's name is less bombastic.
Donald: Trump's forename is Scottish. His mother, born Mary Anne MacLeod, immigrated to the United States from Stornoway, a large, sparsely-populated island off the coast of Scotland. Mary had an older brother, Donald MacLeod, and grandfather, Donald Smith[1]. Donald is an Anglicization of the Scottish Gaelic name, Domhanll, which means world-ruler[2].

John: Trump's middle name is the English derivative of the Hebrew name, Yohanan, which means Graced by Yahweh[3]. Yahweh was a god in the pantheon of the ancient Canaanite religion and later the monotheistic god of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Trump: Donald Trump's father was a German immigrant. When he arrived in the United States, he spelled his surname, Drumpf, but Anglicized it to Trump. His earliest known ancestor was a lawyer, Hans Drumpf[4]. This shifting of d to t in German has been common, e.g. vader → vater (English: father)[5]. Drumpf is a corruption of Trumpf, which is derived from the German word, trumme, meaning drummer[6]. It is likely that one of Trump's paternal ancestors was a military drummer, used set marching pace and communicate other orders[7].

Thus Donald Trump's full name literally means: the ruler of the world, graced by God and a descendant of a drummer.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Bob Gale, the writer of the movie, has admitted that Biff's presidency was based around a Trump presidency.

I was a drummer, but we're not related.

My given name means "eternal ruler" in Norse, so clearly he has stolen my throne and must be vanquished :)

Drummers are the coolest people, they know how to carry themselves, have great sense of rythm

Yes, amazing that the movie is getting so many predictions right. Or very close to right.
