Banks,
I was calling him Moose O'Leany for a while here, because of some stylistic similarities I had noticed watching old footage of Benito. But I see a pinch of Amin psychopathy in there, too. In terms of policies, ideology, and resulting crises, he seems more like a Pinochet. But a reeaallllly stupid version. Which may prove fortunate.
He reminds me of the Mussolini clips Lena Wertmuller used in the opening montage of ‘Seven Beauties.’
I am reminded of the Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors where his character is making a documentary of the Alan Alda character, here he starts with the character berating g his staff, switches to Musolini, and then a braying jackass.
