Trump's Re-Election Campaign Thinks He's Like Thanos

Yesterday Trump's re-election campaign tweeted out the following meme.


In it, Thanos' face is superimposed by Trump's in a clip from Avengers: Endgame where Thanos tried to use the Infinity Gauntlet to kill all life in the Universe so he could start it over. In the movie, Iron Man saved the day by intervening and snapping his fingers and annihilating Thanos and his army instead. Trump's camp re-edits the clip so that "Trumpnos" declares himself "inevitable" and snaps away the lead Democrats who are leading the Impeachment inquiry against Trump.

Stunning. At first I had no words.

I think that this was a major tactical error by Trump's camp. There have been many vocal and hard push back. The original creator of the character Thanos, Jim Starlin, said:

"After my initial feeling of being violated, seeing that pompous fool using my creation to stroke his infantile ego, it finally struck me that the leader of my country and the free world actually enjoys comparing himself to a mass murderer."

"How sick is that? These are sad and strange times we are going through. Fortunately, all things, even national nightmares, eventually come to an end."

 I agree with Jim Starlin. It's like the people who made this meme don't realize that Thanos is the bad guy who was trying to murder people. Are they implying that the Democrats are the Avengers? Funny things is that some people made memes in answer to this one and they are hilarious!

CNN's Don Lemon was livid.
