OP
What is that dark line or shadow by Trump's left cheek? Not that it really matters, but I'm curious.

Looks like the gold-dip is blobby. And of course it MUST be gold because bronze isn't as shiny...

I'm all for them self identifying. If they'd only tattoo it on their foreheads.

Despite his jutting jaw and comical bravado, Donald Trump is not another Benito Mussolini. The Italian dictator had six children, one wife and several mistresses, the most loyal of whom, Claretta Petacci, chose to die with him and was hanged upside down in a Milan gas station.
On the other hand, the similarities between Trump and Mussolini are so obvious that it would amount to journalistic malpractice not to mention some of them. Mussolini was vain, bombastic, vulgar and, while the creator of fascism, he believed in nothing aside from himself. A former Italian prime minister, quoted in David Kertzers book The Pope and Mussolini, thought that Mussolinis chief attribute was his devotion to the cult of his own personality. Is this our guy or what?

Cheaply made crap. Mussolini and Hitler apparently went with coinage-stamped quality.
