Introduction
The currency of power is coercion.
Trump believes he interprets a fictional character unfit for a democratic ecosystem but thrives in a global social network, often supplanting the authority of multilateral organizations like the UN, Brazil’s Supreme Court, or the jurisdiction of Gaza.
Trump’s Perception of Power
Trump’s perceived power mirrors that of Olympian gods, issuing 50 trade “lashings” to Brazil for perceived judicial overreach by Lula and 50 more to India for selling oil to Russia. He lashes out at European, Canadian, and Mexican allies while threatening 104 lashings to China.
Daily Rituals at the Coliseum
Each morning, Trump showcases his strength at the “Coliseum,” where global audiences witness others, deemed slaves, communists, maras, drug traffickers, or comedians, groveling before him, pleading for mercy and clemency.
“You have no power,” he taunts them live on Fox News, humiliating critics to build an emotional image of a powerful president.
Migration and Canonization
Meanwhile, Trump contemplates his migratory map: deportations to Rwanda, South Sudan, Swaziland, and Uganda.
The US President and Vice President stage a pseudo-canonization of Charlie Kirk, targeting “communists” for reckoning.
Grotesque Response to Kirk’s Death
Celebrating Kirk’s death is grotesque and inhumane, yet Trump’s democratic persona justifies silencing Kimmel’s criticism on ratings grounds.
Trump’s FCC Commissioner, Brendan Carr (appointed by Trump), criticized Kimmel’s opinions and threatened media outlets defying Trump’s orders on the matter: no criticism of Kirk’s ideology, and certainly no mockery.
In response, Disney (ABC’s owner) canceled Kimmel’s program.
Orwellian Undertones
Trump, invoking Orwell before English monarchs, asserts his uniqueness. The speech’s author evidently crafted it for a parallel universe to Mar-a-Lago, its real estate, tourism, and technological paradise in the Gaza Strip.
The US faces an ornamental operation with heartfelt consequences, its face becoming increasingly unknown.
Trump has branded millions of his fellow citizens as a terrorist group.
