Anti-Trump stuff in TV is so non shocking anymore (lazy, really) that I barely noticed it or cared because the acting was so good. Would have probably been a little better and more serious without the strong stereotypes, but that stuff felt like background noise to Alfred and his own issues.
It being anti-Trump is moreso a function of Trump being a greedy oligarch, bonus points for also being a billionaire like Thomas Wayne. You could just as easily say Boris Johnson or some random CCP party leader. Or some failson or daughter in Chilean politics. A French technocrat like Macron could also be a Thomas Wayne.
It's quite a bit bigger than Trump. The movie bangs you over the head with a dilapidated urban center with trash quite literally piling up on the street, and social services (which were already not especially effective in many cases, but that's another problem) being cut. There's a reason you see dudes right now putting joker makeup on their faces in protests like Hong Kong, Lebanon, Chile, France, Bolivia, Ecuador, amongst other countries and places. The idea that it's white male rage or incel resentment is ironic as it suspiciously sounds like just a bunch of Murrays pissing down their leg there was an actual movie saying they're trash and deserve the very worst for how their worldview has shaped society here and abroad, quite frankly. Agree with it or not.
