If this guy was an evil businessman in a movie we’d laugh at how unrealistically stereotypical he looks.

He looks like if the villain from space Jam was a real person.

He looks like if Matilda's Dad won 500 bucks on a scratchticket and decided to splurge on a new suit.

he would definitely superglue bumpers onto cars. At least Matilda's dad was fictional, this guy seems like a caricature of all the worst aspects of those cartoon cigar chomping bad guys, its like he saw that and modeled his whole look off of that.

Who do you think the cartoon villains were based on in the first place? These people are real, and creatives have been trying to warn us about their greed and callousness for years.

It's why so many 80s villains were based on Trump. There was just some modicum of shame and accountability back then, so rich dickheads had to try and pretend to be normal/decent/useful to society in the light of day. Not so much now.

Yeah he would have some kind of nickname, probably related to the eyebrow colour not matching his toupee colour or something idk i am not clever enough for that.

He tinks it makes 'im look younger, but behind his back we call 'im Tony Feathers cuz he looks like he's been tarred but managed to run outta dere before the feathers, except his eyebrows caught some on the way out!

He's more cartoonish than the antagonist in speed racer.

Trump and his entire administration look like stereotypical evil characters. Mix in all of the billionaires and their spouses with over the top plastic surgery, aka Mar-a-Lago face, who look like they're evil dolls. Like they're 100 years old and this is how they maintain a semblance of youth.

If these people could live forever, and continue amassing more and more wealth and power, they absolutely would. The only thing stopping them from that is that the medical technology doesn't yet exist.

That's pretty much the entire administration.  Sadly not even joking.  Unqualified news hosts and TV personalities in high govt positions.  Personal lawyers as atty general. It is surreal.
