# This Is Neill Blomkamp’s Vision for Trump’s Air Force One and Presidential Motorcade

With the 2016 presidential election and its surprise twist ending now almost a week in the world’s collective rearview, science fiction director [Neill Blomkamp has given us a look into his vision of the presidential motorcade and Air Force One](<https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/a23861/sci-fi-trump-motorcade/>) of the not-too-distant future. And as you’d probably expect from the guy who made a movie about a future where the rich live in paradise on a space station while the poors struggle on a depleted Earth below...it’s hardly flattering to Donald Trump.

Blomkamp, who broke onto the scene with his unconventional aliens-among-us thriller *District 9* and more recently directed [the latest installment of the resurrected BMW Films series](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5670/why-havent-you-watched-bmws-the-escape-yet>), [dropped the CGI-modified videos on his Instagram page](<https://www.instagram.com/neillblomkamp/>) several days ago, then went on to [post them in full 1080p quality on YouTube](<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD4ZEYIBnHIC2DUhiizMOHg>)—thus giving us all a chance to marvel at these grotesque visions while quietly trying to convince ourselves, *C’mon, there’s no way Trump will do that...right?*

The first video depicts a Trump presidential motorcade, which resembles a traditional one in most respects...except for the president’s limousine, which has been transformed into a lane-and-a-half-wide 24-karat Batmobile as designed by [Hedonismbot](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KvemMojiTk>). The second, put out a day later, is even more outlandish, depicting [an Airbus A380 version](<https://www.thedrive.com/video/5190/ride-along-next-to-the-largest-airliner-in-the-world-as-it-takes-off-from-lax>) of Air Force One bristling with heavy artillery, tank treads in lieu of wheels, and a greenhouse full of tropical greenery.

Admittedly, [we don’t know what Trump’s presidential Cadillac will actually look like until Inauguration Day 2017](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5939/president-donald-trump-will-roll-up-to-the-white-house-in-a-brand-new-cadillac>), which theoretically gives The Donald plenty of time to retrofit the new Beast with laser turrets and 10-foot-tall golden statues of Ivanka riding an eagle.

One thing we do know, however: while the A380 may be the biggest passenger plane in the world, but there’s no way POTUS—Trump or not—would fly on a European-made jet. [At least not as long as Boeing is still building 747s](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/4629/boeing-747-production-could-end-in-the-near-future>).
