DOWNFALL! Trump in the Bunker
This piece originally ran on June 3, 2020 and is one of a series of Trump-related articles we're republishing.

What first comes to mind is the German 2004 film Downfall. It chronicles the last days of Hitler, Eva Braun, and the top surviving Nazi henchmen (including Josef Goebbels and his entire family) in the Berlin Bunker.
