If we could set up a Truman Show scenario where Trump thinks he’s President again and the public send in scenarios for him to deal with, what would you suggest?

Nah, I reckon moulded abs. because he totally has them. He has a bit of a dad bod, he likes his steak after all. But he has abs and anyone who denies that is a hater who gets their information from fake news. Of course he has abs and the designer obviously saw them, otherwise why would he have abs armour?

Some combination of Immortan Joe and Baron Harkonnen

And put nipples on it, like Batman's, for the finishing touch.

With Don Jr. prancing around in winged underwear: I will kill him!

Massive Baader-Meinhof phenomenon for me here, I just started reading Dune and passed the bit where Harkonnen is introduced.

It’s not a crazy coincidence with all the Dune movie hype going on, Dune board game recently came out as well, it’s definitely in the public mind

Oh I know it's not a coincidence, I started reading it because I like Denis Villeneuve films so I'm part of that trend.

I meant that previously I wouldn't have registered a reference to a random Dune character. Any mention in the wild of a character you just read about is an odd sensation!

There's also a Dune tabletop rpg coming out by Modiphius if you are interested. My game group is thinking about buying it and they've already decided what they want to play as, the nerds.

And a touch of Lord Farquaard

Whenever I read through Dune, that's always how I pictured the Baron

With a touch of Biff from BTTF.

Who was a caricature of Trump, so now we've gone full circle!
