Why do so many Trump minions ...

Look like Bond villains out of central casting?

I used to think that creepy, ugly people weren’t usually bad people. That was just a Hollywood stereotype. I’m reconsidering this now.

Disregard the costume / robe. He's "older", a little pudgy and wears glasses. Is it the glasses? The bald head? Schwab is much beloved by maga crowd as a whipping boy, a hate target, a receptacle for vile fantasies, a prospective murder victim, a satan incarnate. Do you hate him?

It's not a costume...He wears that for effect...Don't care about his age nor his glasses. I am older and I wear glasses, but I don't wear Bond Villain clothes.

I don't care what magats say about him. If he doesn't look like a textbook Bond villain to you, then you might want to revisit how Blofeld looked.

All Schwab needs in his picture is a long haired cat with a bejewelled collar.

This tendency to judge by looks often goes way too far (Stephen Cuck Miller excepted).

Bond cartoon villain in real life? Which one? Which one is evil? All? None?

When an 80 year old man decides to go shopping for the most Darth Vader looking prince of darkness outfit on purpose, I doubt he bought it accidentally at a Salvation Army thrift store.

He specifically wants "the look".
