Trump vs. the Illuminati is a real movie.
I want to get that out of the way because the title sounds like something generated by throwing three Facebook comment sections into a blender.
The 2020 animated sci-fi comedy is directed and written by BC Fourteen. Its hero is not Donald Trump himself but a fictional clone of him, played by Timothy Banfield, who survives Earth’s destruction and eventually gets pulled into humanity’s war with the Illuminati.
That is the premise. The movie then looks at that premise and says, “Not weird enough. Add Satan.”
What Is Trump vs. the Illuminati About?
Rotten Tomatoes lists the film as a 2020 sci-fi/action/adventure/comedy animation with a 69-minute runtime. BC Fourteen is credited as director and screenwriter.
The story takes place in the distant future. A clone of Donald Trump survives Earth’s destruction, while the remaining human population fights an interstellar battle against Illuminati forces.
It is the kind of movie synopsis that makes you reread the sentence just to make sure nobody slipped something into your coffee.

The CGI Has a Very Specific Energy
The animation is not Pixar. It is not trying to be Pixar. It has the energy of a video-game cutscene that escaped and somehow got a feature-length runtime.
Some of the space imagery is amusingly ambitious. Other moments look like the characters were assembled five minutes before the deadline.
That is not a critic consensus. That is this reviewer’s reaction.
The Voice Acting Is Part of the Experience
Timothy Banfield voices the fictional Trump clone. The performance is an impersonation built around a recognizable public persona, but whether it works for you will probably depend on how quickly you surrender to the movie’s extremely low-budget universe.
For me, the voice performances often feel flatter than the material desperately needs. When your plot includes space travel, secret societies and Satan, subtlety is not exactly the emergency.
The Plot Refuses to Calm Down
The movie throws together artificial intelligence, planetary destruction, prophecy, the Illuminati, historical occult figures and a fictional Trump clone.
Most films would consider two of those ideas enough.
Trump vs. the Illuminati apparently looked at the buffet and took one of everything.
No, Critics Did Not “Unanimously” Hate It
The older version of this review said critics unanimously condemned the movie.
That was simply not supportable. At the time this article was rechecked in September 2026, Rotten Tomatoes listed zero critic reviews for the film.
Audience reviews, on the other hand, are all over the place. Some viewers treat it as intentionally ridiculous entertainment; others plainly do not enjoy it. That split makes much more sense than pretending there is a formal critical consensus that does not exist.
Should You Watch Trump vs. the Illuminati?
If you need polished animation, careful plotting and prestige voice acting, there are several thousand better uses of 69 minutes.
If your movie taste includes the phrase “I need to see how weird this gets,” this has a very specific appeal.
I cannot promise you will think it is good.
I can promise you will never again be able to say you were unaware somebody made an animated movie about a fictional Trump clone battling the Illuminati in space.
For another piece of entertainment that sounds invented but is not, BiggleBit also looked at whether the University of American Samoa Law School from Better Call Saul is real.
