Suicide Squad's executive producer also Donald Trump's chief fundraiser

Steven Mnuchin both co-financed the Warner Bros. film and aided in raising $80 million for the Republican nominee's campaign

What do Donald Trump and DC's Suicide Squad share in common?

A swarm of initial comparisons may spring to mind, but here's a surprising one: both have seen the involvement of one Steven Mnuchin, who both executive produced the Warner Bros. film, and stands as the Republican nominee's chief fundraiser.

"You’d be surprised how many secret Republicans there are in Hollywood!" he told Showbiz411, attending Suicide Squad's LA premiere. Alongside co-financing the David Ayer-directed supervillain team-up film, past projects from Mnuchin include Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, American Sniper, and Mad Max: Fury Road.

The producer has already attracted his fair share of controversy in Hollywood; The Wrap reports how Mnuchin has been accused in the past of causing Relativity Media, the studio behind The Fighter, to go bankrupt.

Both of Mnuchin's endeavours may seem initially profitable: Trump's campaign has announced it's raised roughly $80 million in July, mostly from small donations, while Suicide Squad broke the August record on its opening weekend despite its poor reviews.

However, Trump's funds contrast to the $90 million raised by Hillary Clinton's campaign in the same period; meanwhile, Suicide Squad suffered a steep 41% drop in ticket sales from Friday to Saturday.

Draw whatever conclusions you desire from that.
