Trump still thinks like a businessman.

Not diplomatic at all.

Him winning was a accident.

Bet he secretly hates the fact.

I don't remember knowing enough about the president to be able to say this is his backstory.

I do think it's true that Trump turns into a sludge zombie if you puncture his skinsuit, though.

not even secretly. Like the excerpt from fire and fury said the campaign was prepared for anything... except winning.

To be fair, I'd be angry and pissed off if I was President and have to put up with the BS.

If people want to go to war then I'll take them to war.

I wouldn't give a fuck.

Just to be clear, FF8 didnt come out in 1998, not even in Japan. It was released in 1999. It was officially unveiled in the summer of 1998 though. I know this, because I still clearly remember the first screenshots in the summer of 1998.

Except that's not a prediction of the Trump presidency at all.

For starters, Trump isn't stupid. He's evil. He's a bad communicator, but that doesn't change the fact that he accomplished much for the Republican agenda. Namely ending the political career of the right's most hated enemy Hillary Clinton.

Second, that goofball didn't run the nation into the ground on purpose and try to turn it into Nazi Germany with an oligarchy. I don't even remember what he did since FF8 is unmemorable trash. Only thing I really remember was the whole "We're all from the same orphanage! Except you rich girl." bullshit. But I'm pretty sure he was nothing like Trump.
