The Vanity Fair photographer knew what he was doing. (I doubt I’m the first to notice this but it hasn’t graced my TL)

Side-by-side black and white headshot photographs of two men, likely from the mid-20th century. One is Stephen Miller. The Other is Goebbels

It's the portrait treatment that looks alike: same angle, same crop, same lighting.

I've fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole of people overanalyzing these photos as well.

My favourite Easter Egg is the painting behind Stephen Miller showing a Native American encampment.

Also all the prominent light switches calling back to the first Trump administration when nobody knew how to turn the lights on.
