The way President Trump continues to repeatedly reference “Central Casting” feels like he is trying to send a message. For over 10 years, he has told us point blank certain people are “Central Casting,” and at some point you just have to take him at his word.
I have been documenting this pattern for years. A recent clip from a MAGA rally in Iowa showed President Trump using a folio with the Presidential Seal labeled “PRESIDENT.”
He recently stated: “And in my second term… which is sort of happening now, but I don’t want the results, right? I don’t want the results of this second term. This second term is a disaster for this Country.”
Trump has also consistently promised to take back key institutions—“the Senate, the House, and the White House”—with urgency that suggests preparation for change.
This pattern has been building over time, with updates to this analysis appearing nearly daily.
