Verhoeven: Trump’s Space Force uniforms mirror Starship Troopers’ Nazi-era imagery

Dutch director Paul Verhoeven says Starship Troopers deliberately channels fascist propaganda aesthetics and that Donald Trump’s Space Force uniform concept mirrors that Nazi-era look, citing Leni Riefenstahl; he adds the film’s heroes are ‘fascists without knowing that they’re fascists,’ a point that has fueled debate after Trump shared a Space Force design inspired by the movie.
