This is awesome and needs to be integrated with the other awesome trump tweet treatment:
A valiant effort, to be sure. But using satire on the angry pumpkin is usually self defeating. Immunity from irony seems to be his one single legitimate superpower.
Pretty cool, though it only works by cherry picking which of Trump’s statements to use. The thing is, Trump’s ramblings would mostly be too poorly written and over-the-top for a villain like Red Skull.
Although more frequently, the use of Trump’s words would just depict a Red Skull in some sort of sad cognitive decline, which would make him less scary as a villain. E.g. Trump’s recent statement, over a series of fragmented sentences, making various contradictory claims about his Ukraine call (and how no one had a problem with it):
Jesus - the Red Skull has really dropped a few steps. I guess the super soldier serum doesn’t cure Alzheimers
Con-mandant Clementine is just a villain, not a super-villain.
His ranting finally feels contextual. When is Captain American going to punch this fascist. The suspense is killing… the country.
This is far too fucking real.
If the red were orange would it blow your mind even more?
The odd thing is that the trumpists may see the red whateveritis, spouting trumpisms, as a real hero. Irony is lost on them.
The Red Skull channels the Orange Anus.
