It's fair to say some people aren't keen for more Trump on their devices, as indicated by the reaction to the Presidential Alert system which was tested on Wednesday.

These mobile alerts allow direct communication from the president to the American people, and would typically be used in emergencies, like a terrorist attack or a natural disaster.

But given how much Trump likes to use another public platform, Twitter, for short bursts of criticism and LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS, Jimmy Kimmel imagined a world where Trump's messages invade all your screens in the form of a blockbuster movie trailer.

"What do we do in Hollywood when we have a bad idea? We make a major motion picture out of it," Kimmel said.
