Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.”

    Homelander on ‘The Boys’ Was Always Meant To Be Donald Trump

    The comic series was released in 2006 and concluded in 2012, so that’s doubtful. He was supposed to be the synthesis between European White Nationalism and American Exceptionalism, both of which predate Trump by centuries.

    Starr straight out rejects the notion that the character is just Trump with powers, and tries to get back to why this character is the product of his conditions rather than just a reflection of an IRL ideological peer.

    The through line from this abused and exploited child to an emotionally starved and psychotically included adult is what makes the character fun.
