I genuinely thought this was going to be a post about a costume (or cosplay) from the picture.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wait, is that really the guy? My fucking god he couldn't be more cartoonishly villainous even if he tried...

[–] mursejoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

He looks like he is a mob boss goon batman fights. That obviously died hair and hair piece isn’t doing him any favors. Yikes.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

This fuckin' guy ...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

These people even look like real life villains.

Dude looks like fucking Paul Bearer

[–] mosspiglet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I saw that pic and my first reaction was "is that Paul Bearer??"

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He looks like his role models are Hitler and Penguin

[–] Reviever@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i legit thought it's a fucked up penguin cosplay

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It took me until this comment to realize that this is in fact a real person and not as I assumed, a cosplay.

I literally can't tell if this is parody or reality at this point.

[–] Z745812939054@lemmy.zip 97 points 3 days ago

when a country votes for the "grab'em by the pussy" candidate TWICE, then reality is a parody of itself now . we've come full circle.

it doesn't make anything better if you consider the "they obviously cheated" angle, because literally no one did literally anything to stop it

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

Homie looks like he’s spent time at Arkham.

[–] cute_noker@feddit.dk 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It is the penguin from the batman universe

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I was more thinking Gomez Addams, but lacking in class.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

dude i'm a gomez fan. those were fighting words without "lacking in class" gomez is the epitome of class. now dance with me

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Oh it's real. I just wonder if they did it this way with the sole purpose of confusing people or just general corruption.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I am just having a hard time accepting this. Like if you read this was fiction we would reject it as so cliche and exaggerated as to be unrealistic. Especially that photo. It's almost cartoonish villainy.

"pictured here with a young woman who agreed to accompany him after he twirled his moustache and threatened to tie her to the railroad tracks"

[–] Pinkie_Toe@lemmy.world 59 points 3 days ago

We are a country ran by and profited off of by used car salesmen.

Does he run car engines backwards before selling them at inflated prices?

He does remind me of what I imagine matildas dad to be while reading the book

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

Trump is a NY real estate dude from at least the 70s, owned a casino, and trafficked/raped young children. This guy looks more mob than trump even does. Check his hard drives pronto.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

I’m pretty sure if I looked up the word “sleezball” in the dictionary it would be this exact picture. Just spot on “gross untrustworthy business guy”

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 55 points 3 days ago (11 children)

It’s really astonishing that this particular scam is the one stirring up US citizens, even though the matter is absolutely negligible compared to all the unbelievable corruption of this regime. Well, apparently they need something concrete—symbols, in other words—that offend their national pride in order to grasp just how criminal their government is.

Hey old men, when your freaking eyebrows are "salt and pepper" lay off the shoe polish hair job, it looks fucking ridiculous.

That's a mail order bride if I ever saw one.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago

The guy looks like a 1950's comic book depiction of a greasy corporate crook.

Is this MyPillow’s cousin?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Just Googled the guy. Yup, he does in fact look like a Gotham city villain.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 15 points 2 days ago

He may look sleazy as fuck, but he makes the greenest water. He's the best in the business.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dude looks like a ghost you'd see in an episode of The Real Ghostbusters.

Why do they always look the same?

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Sleezist used rug salesman ever

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

From one criminal MAGA fucknut to another.

This is the type of man who will fuck a llama and call it in the morning.
