ET, WWE or Mini Me? Twitter explodes with reactions to Donald Trump’s ‘epic’ convention entrance

The first night of the Republican National Convention has been dubbed ‘epic’ by Twitter users though not for its content, but its spectacle. Donald Trump emerging on stage as an extraterrestrial enveloped in smoke. RT picked the best reactions.
The Twitter community climaxed when the presidential hopeful, who already tops the list of most bizarre politicians, entered the RNC the way not many movie stars can enter Oscars – cloaked in smoke, with a spooky bluish backlight, and to a timeless single by the Queen.
Some quickly spotted a resemblance to Hollywood-style UFO appearances…

To be fair Trump plagiarised his entrance from Close Encounters of the Third Kind as well... pic.twitter.com/zcGss8VYoj

… while others said Trump had copied World Wrestling Entertainment champions.

Many toyed with the idea that instead of running for President, Trump secretly cherishes a dream of becoming a pop-star...

Who had a better entrance?

Donald Trump or Mini Me from Austin Powers? Both have small hand size.#RNCinCLEpic.twitter.com/ooF7G2vuhi
Was Trump's entrance meant to look like the apocalyptic nightmare from John Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS? pic.twitter.com/ZiZlBXBVFs

Some noted that the music background, ‘We are the Champions’ written by Freddy Mercury, was perhaps not very Trump-style…
Ironic Donald Trump's entrance music was written by a gay immigrant from Tanzania born to Iranian parents #RNCinCLEpic.twitter.com/QBiD7XOnfc

And an overwhelming majority said that even for someone like The Donald, it will be hard to top such an “epic and totally awesome”, “spectacular”, “Beyonce-concert” appearance.
I gotta say, I do have a degree of curiosity on how Trump will top this entrance: pic.twitter.com/5JudNHJECG

In any case, it’s fair to say despite all the mockery Trump entertained quite a few, not that it’s his style to pave the way to the White House… Or is it?
