Trump's inauguration is a 'disturbing glimpse of the horrors we could stumble into.'
The Internet is buzzing with a television pundit’s description of Donald Trump’s Friday inauguration as the return of “The Twilight Zone.”
The swearing-in of the former reality star, scheduled to be broadcast live from Washington, D.C., will be seen by television viewers around the world. Scotland’s Sunday Herald listed the following description by TV commentator Damien Love:
“After a long absence, The Twilight Zone returns with one of the most ambitious, expensive and controversial productions in broadcast history.

“The story begins in a nightmarish version of 2017 in which huge sections of the U.S. electorate have somehow been duped into voting to make Donald Trump president. It sounds far-fetched, and it is, but as it goes on it becomes more and more chillingly plausible,” the reviewer notes.
“Today’s feature-length opener concentrates on the gaudy inauguration of President Trump, and the stirrings of protest and despair surrounding the ceremony, while pundits speculate gravely on what lies ahead.”
