By now it’s a pretty old joke to note Donald Trump’s resemblance to Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in David Lynch’s 1984 DUNE movie.
Replace the oil spray with spray-tan and they become identical.
Kenneth McMilan who played the Baron is of Scottish descent, as is Trump through his mother Mary Anne Macleod.
As an English person it’s a relief that for once we aren’t the bad guys.
And, like the Baron, Trump is also basically a comic book baddie.
