I don’t usually start threads in the pit, but really, there’s no where else for this… [On no he didn’t–wait, yes he did](https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1204503645607333888) Really can’t imagine how anyone on Trump’s team would think this was a good idea. Brain dead dumbassery. ---

Trumpers like power. And authority. They don’t really give a shit if it’s also EVIL. ---

Well you can’t get much more explicit of an admission that you’re on the side of the villain than that. If this is the birth of “Iron Ma’am” as a nickname for Nancy Pelosi, though, this dumb meme might be worth it. ---

As a counter someone needs to photo manip [this clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxWuwyGSDec). The symbolism is just too perfect. ---

So Trump is identifying himself with a character who was utterly defeated and then turned into dust? A guy who kept claiming his victory was assured right up to the moment when the good guys literally destroyed him? With everyone cheering his downfall? That’s the image Trump wants to project as he faces his impeachment hearing? ---

This is needlessly nerdy, but the snap in the clip is the one where Thanos had not yet realized that Tony stole the stones with nanotech. Thanos is seconds away from his ultimate demise at that point. ---

It’s so off the mark I can’t help but wonder if they’re trolling us? This and the Rocky body/Trump head, stuff like those. That they know it’s dumb but it’ll get lots of people talking and they believe the “all publicity is good publicity” thing because conservatives will just love how angry the libtards are. I mean it’s so wildly stupid that you can’t help but wonder if there is one smart person running the social media doing it on purpose. Not Trump himself. Even my kid, when shown the meme yesterday, was like “But… that’s just dumb.” I don’t credit them with 5D chess or whatever in general but there are some smart, but evil, people who work for him. ---

This is true. Also, there are a significant number of people who are completely ignorant of politics, but will go out and vote for a clown, just because it’s funny. Yes, they are fucking idiots with an IQ of 85, but they get a vote too. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > It’s so off the mark I can’t help but wonder if they’re trolling us? I’m pretty sure that’s not how trolling works. The purpose of trolling is to make people angry at you not to make them shake their heads in disbelief at how incompetent you are. Now if you told me that Trump War Room is a false flag account set up by liberals to make Trump look bad, that would be credible. ---

The problem with this theory is that no part of this meme is smart. It’s portraying Trump as the overconfident bad guy who loses the battle. The smart video would have been to put Pelosi’s face on Thanos’ body. Have her bragging about how she was going to impeach Trump and her victory was inevitable. And then have her snap her fingers and nothing happens. Then show Trump as Iron Man snapping his fingers and blowing Thanos away into dust. ---
