There are spoilers in this review
I could not resist writing a review of this after watching it today.
The flimflam man is called Mr. Trump. He makes statements like "The world is coming to an end and only I can save you." and "Only I have the answer." Essentially, Mr. Trump misleads a whole community into buying into his lies. To add to things, it appears the law enforcement of the area appear to be in league with Mr. Trump to help him get his way... (Sort of like what the FBI did for the real Mr. Trump for the elections).
The parallels to this episode and the 2016 presidential elections are pretty funny. The episode was pretty good on its own, but the way it nearly predicts what was to come is pretty funny... Oh one last thing, the Hero of the story who is actually trying to save the town from themselves ends up being Bonked on the head and knocked out (like the democrats that got knocked out of the race)... Just makes me smile when Life imitates art and wanted to share it.
