Trump is the kind of villain comic books have been warning us about for decades.
But it's the worst one. A Lex Luthor is brilliant. Kingpin is actually a ruthless businessman. Trump is like if Paste Pot Pete just got old and senile and found himself to be President.
John Byrne’s version of Lex Luthor was based on Donald Trump.
Biff Tannen in Back To The Future 2 is based on Donald Trump.
Not only was he ALWAYS the cartoonishly villain he’s always been, but so much so that fiction showed him & heroes opposing him and STILL some never got it.
Turns out being a cartoon villain was plausible all along.
If anyone read The Boys(graphic novel) MAGAs orange messiah is what happens when you elevate Vic the Veep to president
Always found it odd that any people who grew up with (and still follow, like me) Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, etc. end up supporting the most obvious real-life villain imaginable.
Because he’s the model for every villain in the 80s and 90s.
