Tony Barbieri
Barbieri as his character Jake Byrd at the Trump criminal trial in Manhattan. Byrd's eyebrows are raised unevenly while obscured by the brim of his cap with an almost surprised childish grin. He has a white and grey close cropped mustache and beard that is somewhat patchy. Byrd is wearing a red, white, and blue baseball cap that reads "#1 Fan" in black block letters against a white background. Byrd is also wearing a backpack over a light blue colored t-shirt that Byrd is wearing over tan colored collared shirt with a red necktie (only an accent of the red tie is visible) the shoulder straps of the backpack frame his necktie and chest. On the light blue (outermost) t-shirt is the word: FREEDON!! (a play on FREEDOM) the text is on a white background with the FREE in white and the DON!! in blue. Beneath the FREEDON!! text is an image of a bald eagle with Donald Trump's head superimposed over the eagle's head. Trump's expression is ambiguous. He is squinting and his mouth is wide open; he could be yelling in pain or attempting to incite a mob. The eagle's right talon is handcuffed, but the chain of the handcuff is broken at the seventh link.
