![]() But why would anyone care? Is it that unusual to see four men standing in a line? This meme used genuine images to show that President Trump stood in a similar pose to the fictional character Biff Tannen in the movie Back to the Future. The bottom portion of this meme is also a genuine still from the 1985 film Back to the Future, taken from a scene in which Biff Tannen and his crew of bullies enter the diner to pressure George McFly into finishing their homework for them: The same four men pictured in this viral mashup can be seen in a video of the exchange from The Guardian: This still image appears to have come from a controversial moment during the event when President Trump reportedly insulted reporter Cecilia Vega, saying: "I know you're not thinking, you never do." The top picture originated with a press conference held in the White House Rose Garden on 2 October 2018, during which President Trump touted a new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, the scene’s inclusion in Back to the Future Part II would have raised more questions than answers, explaining its removal.In October 2018, a meme comparing President Trump and various politicians to Biff Tannen and other characters from the popular Back to the Future film franchise began circulating on social media:īefore we get to the "why" of this meme (isn't this a fairly common pose in both the movie world and in reality?), let's look at the very basic claim: Are these images real? Therefore, Old Biff could still exist, just in a parallel version of the timeline. This implies two parallel versions of time, not one that is constantly rewritten. He draws the main timeline on a chalkboard, then creates an off-shot to represent the altered timeline. However, the scene contradicts Doc's time travel explanation just a few scenes later. Although, it could be that things in the time machine remain static even if time changes. Biff's vanishing also opens the question of how the broken head of his cane survived in the DeLorean. This would have been hard to show on screen. Unless Biff had lost his riches and power by 2015, the entire timeline should have technically vanished, not just Old Biff. Its exclusion leaves the question of why he was acting so ill when exiting the DeLorean, but the scene also opens up several more questions. It may be that director Robert Zemeckis and writer/producer Bob Gale decided that seeing Old Biff fade with no spoken explanation would be too confusing. The apparent integrity of the missing scene raises the question of why it was cut in the first place. It is also ominous foreshadowing for what Marty and Doc are about to encounter in 1985. The scene makes for a great callback to the first film and shows how quick time travel can go south. Marty almost met this same fate in Back to the Future before he managed to get his parents together. Old Biff gets sicker and sicker until, just after the DeLorean jumps through time, he fades from existence. In the deleted scene, he is leaning against a car, out of view of Marty and Doc as they prepare to return to 1985. The Back to the Future multiverse proves time travel, and specifically meddling in your own timeline, has many consequences. But a deleted scene available on the Back to the Future Part II DVD reveals what was happening to Old Biff after his time travel trip. Old Biff's behavior when exiting the time machine is never explained and the films don't return to 2015. The head of his cane breaks off in the car, which Doc finds later. The last time Old Biff is seen in Back to the Future Part II, he lands the DeLorean in 2015 and stumbles out of the car, sweating and groaning in pain, as though sick or injured.

Theory Explained This creates an alternate Back to the Future timeline, in which Marty and Doc end up, where 1985 Hill Valley is run by a rich Biff, who killed Marty's father and married his mother. He goes back to 1955 and gives his younger self the almanac. ![]() After Doc convinces Marty not to do this, "Old" Biff instead grabs the almanac and steals the DeLorean. ![]() He overhears Marty's plan to use a 2015 sports almanac to make money in the '80s. When Marty and Doc travel to the far future of 2015 in Back to the Future Part II, they meet a bitter 78-year-old Biff. In 1955, he's a high school bully who makes fun of George and harasses Marty's mother, Lorraine. In Back to the Future, Biff is introduced in 1985 as a middle-aged man who pushes around Marty's father, George.
