Thus, whether or not you think Matthew Lillard’s initial response is politically motivated or not, I can see how getting compared to Donald Trump could be a little bit of a blow to one’s ego.
The media has not been particularly kind in regards to Donald Trump’s appearance since he became President.
Then there’s also the fact that Lillard only recently hit 50 while Trump is in his 70s, though I suppose the Twitter user could have been referring to Lillard playing a younger version of the politician.
You can Google around and see entire articles devoted to the tint of his skin (supposedly due to makeup) and the hairdo that Trump has favored in recent years, which has its own backstory.
