Dark House of Cards teaser doesn’t predict the brightest future for America

IF Netflix had an opinion about the Trump inauguration, their perfectly timed release of the new House of Cards trailer says it all.

AN upside-down American flag flutters in the wind as the White House is shadowed under a foreboding, grey sky.

In the background, a choir of children eerily chant the Pledge of Allegiance.

Season five of House of Cards looks like it’s going to be a dark one.

If the makers of Netflix’s hit drama House of Cards have an opinion about the Trump inauguration, their perfectly timed release of season five’s teaser trailer pretty much confirmed it’s a bitter one.

As the US prepared for Trump’s swearing in, the political show’s official Twitter page released the short teaser, captioning the video with, “We make the terror.”

The teaser’s main objective was to announce the arrival date of the fifth season, which will come to Netflix on May 30, but the subliminal messages are also pretty obvious.

But if you were wondering what Netflix’s take on it all was, they’re choosing to sit on the fence.

Retweeting the teaser they wrote, “We couldn’t possibly comment.”

House of Cards follows power couple Francis and Claire Underwood in a show full of manipulation and revenge plots as they attempt to reach the White House and win the US presidency.

The drama stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright and has already won six Emmys for its first four seasons.

White House of Cards released their teaser and Donald Trump was being sworn in as America’s 45th president, there was plenty more going on.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets storming checkpoints and destroying police blockades.

A young boy named Connor has become the face of the anti-Trump protests after a video of him went viral.

The footage has already been viewed close to 7 million times where he admits he started a fire in downtown Washington D.C.

Not all protesters were as light-hearted as young Connor — most peaceful protests had descended into chaos by late morning.
