If you want to hide in plain sight, put on a mask of the most talked about man in the world.

That seems to have been the logic of two robbers near Turin, Italy (also sort of the logic of the surfer-robbers in the movie Point Break), whom police have reportedly accused of stealing around $117,000 from a series of banks.

In the video below, you can see one of the two Trump mask-wearing robbers cover up a security camera (apparently not realizing he was visible on a separate camera) before attaching some kind of explosive to a machine full of cash.

Police reportedly arrested two brothers, ages 27 and 31, whom they believe are guilty of putting on fleshy Donny T masks before making their rounds.
