Donald Trump.
Hahaha!
To carry on with your theme and also perhaps unrelated to the subject, The Fool in the Gilded Tarot looks like Bush Jr .
Anyway, for me it would be Edward Bloom in the movie Big Fish.
Donald Trump.
" But Trump wouldn't be my ideal Fool anyway; Fools are warm-blooded.
By the way, last year I watched the film Neon Demon, directed by the auteur Nicolas Winding Refn. It remains my absolute favorite among all the movies I viewed in 2016. Anyway I was struck by how much the story of the virginal ingenue Jesse, the protagonist with a truly otherwordly beauty, is an abject lesson of the mortal dangers facing a Fool who unfortunately lost her way in her travels along the path of the arcana. Lacking spiritual (Magician/High Priestess) and parental (Empress/Emperor) guidance early on, instead of maturing into the best she can be, the vanity and narcissism (Lust/Devil) that would naturally attend one's eventual awakening to the power of one's personal beauty unfortunately led her astray, twisting her paradoxical virginity into a corruption of itself. There are ways out of those traps though, and - well no spoilers here.
By the way, Refn was also familiar with the occult (watch the film!) and the Tarot, and in one documentary, he was even given a Tarot reading by - who else? - another celebrated director, Alejandro Jodorowsky of the Marseilles fame. Truly synchronistic, but it seems that my literary and cinematic tastes also link to the Tarot somehow.
Speaking of Jodorowsky, the main character in his surrealist film El Topo (played by himself, I believe) has something of the Fool about him. It's not for the squeamish.
