A Trump In The Crowd

January 11, 2026

Elia Kazan’s 1957 A Face in The Crowd was oft touted as the movie to watch to understand 2015’s Donald Trump. I finally sat down and watched it the other day.

In 2005, those involved with the film related that it did poorly at the box office, but went on to become one of the most heralded films of all time. It was alien back when it was made and released. It was more prophetic than popular. In 1957 people didn’t get it. In 2025, we totally get it. ‘Cause we got it. Right here. Right now.
