    In Watchmen, Alan Moore mocked pulp convention of dumb villain announcing hidden plans. Trump people actually do that.

        Trump himself is also very much a stereotypical Disney evil business man villain.

        If Trump people don't announce their hidden plans, that's the tell that they haven't thought that far in advance.

        They're going for a different kind of subversion: the villain announces their plan ahead of time, but then succeeds anyway :(
