Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.”

I can’t believe the guy’s name is Vought.
Homelander on ‘The Boys’ Was Always Meant To Be Donald Trump — But Antony Starr Doesn’t Love It

The comic series was released in 2006 and concluded in 2012, so that’s doubtful. He was supposed to be the synthesis between European White Nationalism and American Exceptionalism, both of which predate Trump by centuries.
Starr straight out rejects the notion that the character is just Trump with powers, and tries to get back to why this character is the product of his conditions rather than just a reflection of an IRL ideological peer.
The through line from this abused and exploited child to an emotionally starved and psychotically included adult is what makes the character fun.
Trump has been an influence on fictional bad guys going back to the 80s. Biff from Back to the Future as an example. Idk about “The Boys” but thought we could have some back and forth with it until someone posted some actual facts.
Biff is a sleazy and cowardly narcissistic rapist, you can immediately see the similarities with Donald.
If the authors behind Homelander were going for Donald vibes, I would say they missed the mark.
You just described DJT though…
DJT was spoiled rotten.
I’m pretty sure his father was emotionally abusive, according to his sister. So not exactly tortured like Homelander, but it’s still backstory to his villainous behavior
