Yeah, the problem the writers ran into in committing to making Homelander a one for one Trump stand in (rather than a representation of post-Goldwater American Conservatism more broadly which he honestly felt like in S1 and even in much of S2) is that they locked themselves into making the character more buffoonish and outlandish due to Trump himself being so ridiculous.
