Just watched the original this morning and I don't believe your intention is to be comparing Trump to Willie Stark because if it is, you're not understanding the story. Stark was a populist, yes, and he was ultimately the epitome of corrupt. If you only listen to the screeching of the left, you would believe Trump's presidency is truly life imitating art. If you want proof, just search Trump and Willie Stark together.
Stark was corrupt; Trump is the cleanest President since Washington.
Stark was a leftist; Trump is a conservative.
The differences matter.
In the 1st 1/2 hr they show how corrupt the Louisiana establishment is, and how the politicians are in the pockets of the rich and do their bidding, and endlessly trick and dupe the masses through political and media theater. And how they steal from the poor. Until Willie Stark comes along and fucks with them.
Another great movie. Also The Fountainhead

That’s why I said the 1st 1/2 hr.
Stark was a hick; Trump is a billionaire.
Stark was corrupt; Trump is the cleanest President since Washington.
Stark was a leftist; Trump is a conservative.
