It seems Trump is building his team for 2024 like he’s assembling the ultimate rogue’s gallery. The latest picks are big on controversy, light on restraint, and feel like they’d fit right in with some of the baddest names in the comics. Let’s take a look at the lineup so far:

Tom Homan – Imagine Kingpin in charge of immigration. Homan’s tough-guy approach to enforcing the law is as subtle as a steamroller, and his zero-tolerance policies are enough to make Wilson Fisk proud.

Elon Musk – Yep, Lex Luthor vibes are strong here. Musk has all the billionaire smarts, risky schemes, and questionable ethics to bring a touch of mad-scientist energy to this new cabinet. Only time will tell what kind of “big ideas” he’ll bring to the table, but we’re bracing ourselves.

Pete Hegseth – Red Skull energy? Check. Hegseth’s fierce patriotism and bold rhetoric definitely give off a ‘no-holds-barred’ vibe. The kind of guy who’d be a bit too intense in any other setting, which probably makes him the perfect fit here.

Kristi Noem – Enter Poison Ivy. Charismatic, persuasive, and as sharp as her thorns. Noem’s got a reputation for holding her ground and charming the masses, and she’s not about to let anyone get in the way of her agenda.

At this rate, Trump’s 2024 team is shaping up to be a full-on supervillain squad. Next recruit predictions: Doctor Doom? Green Goblin? We’re all tuning in to see who’ll join the dark side next!

There's honestly no reason to make these figures larger than life than they already are.

Further, depicting them as strong and confident supervillains is well in line with the cult mentality of seeing Trump as a strongman. Trump voters like that these people are like that, and they like that you are scared of them.

Good note. My edit, based on your feedback:

Tom Homan – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

Elon Musk – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

Pete Hegseth – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

Kristi Noem – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

Comic book villains are charismatic and have a plan. They can often be related to.

The villains being placed in positions of power are one dimensional, inept, and destructive for the sake of being destructive.

They’re like the villain’s stupid henchmen that constantly plot for their own selfish reasons while trying to not to catch too much attention from their leader.

Don't do my man Viktor von Doom like that. Latveria is a dictatorship, but he's literally the platonic ideal of a benevolent dictator - his people love him, everyone else outside Latveria thinks he's actually a pretty decent dude when it comes to ruling too (aside from Richards).

Elon is a moron with gem mine money, he bought his reputation as a smart guy because he couldn't earn it honestly.

I'm just waiting for the people in the comments telling you that Poison Ivy isnt a bad guy because

  1. Lesbian
  2. Hot
  3. Ecoterrorism is good

Next you're going to say that Batman is a good guy

...No. No one is saying that.

Her alignment depends on her depiction though. In the Harley Quinn series, for instance, she's obviously not the bad guy because she's a main character and depicted as a sane, regular person. Classic BTAS, very mixed but rather bad.

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Definitely depends on the adaptation, like you said, but in general I'd argue her morals were a little more mixed than the average trump admin.

That being said, eco terrorism is not justifiable.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have b

I was thinking this feels like saints row...

Not that we should hype up these degenerates, of course. This is very troubling stuff

I have a bet with my dad that'll he'll put Vince in his cabinet instead of Linda this go around
