Wild that so many people saw a Star Warsmovie playing on Air Force One and immediately thought, "this diabolical movie villain and the president of the United States are similar," right?

Still, a smattering of Twitter-ers showed up to defend Darth Vader. Remember when he was just a tiny Anakin? By contrast, Donald Trump's midichlorian count is zero. Sad!
(TBH, though, Vader did kill a bunch of kids. He's pretty much as bad as it gets.)
