We’ll never know.

“There's no way this country could possibly be stupid enough to elect Donald Trump. You're not from the future. You're just insane."

No idea, but I’ve wondered if it might be a Bunuel tribute. Maybe . In Belle du Jour, Catherine Deneuve as the call girl by day is entertaining a client, a jolly Asian man built like a Sumo wrestler. Anyway, he opens this box to show her, and I don’t think there was a glow, but there was this tremendous buzzing of…
