Trump's cult is prone to outbreaks of threatening behavior. Unless of course the movie glorifies the object of their worship.

Without prosthetics?

Even when Trump was in his late 20s, he didn't have a dimpled chin and chiseled jaw.

Trump was already parting his over by his ear in the 90s. It was darker too.

and for awhile, it looked like he penciled his eyebrows darker. His lack of self-awareness apparently has been with him for all of his life.
