Trump Campaign Tweets Video Depicting Him as Marvel Supervillain Thanos
Written by SOURCE on December 10, 2019
Hours after House Democrats unveiled two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, the president’s campaign tweeted a video that was less of a clapback and more of a self-own. The clip shows Trump’s head superimposed on the body of Thanos—the murderous supervillain who had wiped out half of the world’s population.
“House Democrats can push their sham impeachment all they want,” the tweet was captioned. “President Trump’s re-election is inevitable.”
The video shows Trump as the Mad Titan snapping his fingers, before cutting away to top Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, turning to dust.
The clip, which was taken from Marvel‘s 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, prompted a mix of reactions—most of which weren’t so favorable to Trump. Many were confused as to why POTUS’ campaign would compare the president to a bad guy responsible for the demise of billions of people, while others noted that Thanos was ultimately defeated in the film. In fact, the very scene the campaign used ends with Thanos being defeated by Tony Stark/Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr.
