The internet has a way of taking one small detail and blowing it out of proportion. Enter: Donald Trump Bane Speech trending online.
If you’ve have been monitoring trends about Trump’s inauguration on Twitter, then you’ve stumbled on a video comparing the new President to Bane.
Oh yes, it’s real.
Trump may or may not have intentionally quote a line from Bane’s monologue in the Dark Knight Rises . Check out the video below for yourself.

For reference, here’s Bane’s speech: “We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you... the people.”
And here’s Trump’s quote: “But we are transferring power from Washington D.C. and giving it back to you... the people. For too long a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have born the cost.”
The Trump administration is erasing all things they don’t agree with off the WhiteHouse.gov site, but sure, I guess we’ll take the time to address the ridiculousness that is Trump Bane.
We get it, this is probably just the internet’s way of coping with President Trump. However, there are more important matters to focus on. At the time of publishing, we’re about 2.5 hours into Trump’s presidency. A lot of changes are already under way.
@kmeaders @CNBC this was to take effect the 27th so anything closing beginning Monday. Wastes a whole week of work for my company.

And Trump’s just getting started. Do we think Trump quoting Bane is a stretch? Of course! Do we care about Trump ripping off Bane? No. Are there more important things to worry about the United States for the next four years? Yes, yes there are.
