1984 was really 1948 flipped, and Orwell's polemic against the Soviet Union and the cult of Stalin, which had so disillusioned the former Communist.  1948  was among the darkest periods of oppression in the USSR, as well as in its satellite states.  And so all encompassing was the cult of Stalin that my foolish mother, at 17, when she announced Stalin was no god and she was offering up no gifts for his birthday was expelled from her school, interrogated and a year later sentenced to a year in prison.  

I really don't see the relevance of  the world of Orwell's 1984 with Trump's presidency. Trump has no coherent ideology to impose, he's just a pettish rich megalomaniac businessman who incredibly has become the president of the U.S.  

The one thing that IS relevant is our digital big brother, but that can hardly be blamed on Trump. Every president of every political stripe has made as much use as they could of emerging technology to watch their citizens.  And yeah, that's scary.
