I recently re-watched the whole series and couldn't help but notice the striking similarities between Brent and Trump :

  • Insulting and sexist towards women
  • Clearly racist but attempts to show he isn't
  • Believes he's a best friend and loved by everyone
  • Says everything on his mind instead of holding back inappropriate thoughts
  • Constantly seeking attention and approval of others
  • Huge ego with no basis in reality
  • Their universe completely revolves around themselves
  • No real sympathy or empathy towards others
  • Very thin skinned, becomes unhinged at the slightest criticism
  • Never does any ACTUAL work - wants to farm it out to the 'best' people
    Anyone else agree or notice this??
    This is such a great show, and I guess if David Brent started with a millionaire father, he'd be Prime Minister of Britain!

David Brent:
Im sure Trump couldnt run and manage a successful paper merchants. I couldnt do what actually, I
could
do what he does, and I think he knew it back then. Probably what spurred him on.
