Trump is like an insecure bully trying to scare everyone by doing a cannonball into a crowded swimming pool, by Hal M. Brown

 

Below is the article in RawStory by Travis Getty that inspired me to put together this AI illustrated blog:

'Red meat for MAGA': Trump said to be prepping 'early shock-and-awe campaign' in new term.

Yesterday I wrote about deadcatting and how Turmp is throwing dead cats on the table to distract from all the publicity Elon Musk is getting and squash the speculation about who really is the president.

Making sure everyone knows he is president rather than Elon Musk is only part of what is motivating him to want to take headline grabbing action on his first day in office and then what he will do during his first days and weeks as president.

If you were lucky enough to go to swimming pools with your friends when you were a kid you probably watched some big bully try to show off by doing a cannon ball in the the midst of everyone in the pool and frighten the smaller children.

I think this is akin to what Trump is doing. He wants to be cheered on by MAGA and instill fear in his enemies.

He thinks he can emerge from the pool as some kind of superhero.

Thanks to AI I could offer you the images which show how Trump would really look if he did this rather than how he wishes he could look.

We actually have a president who sees himself as reincarnation of Superman (as if he'd adhere to The Man of Steel's credo with truth, justice, and the American way actually meaning what it was supposed to mean). 

You don't need to be his psychoanalyst to know that Trump imagines himself to be a masculine superhero with extraordinary powers. He has sold his digital cards depicting himself as a muscle bound Superman.

That so many people could vote for someone who has these delusions is an insult to the intelligence of millions of Americans. Trump also insulted voters by not keeping these fantasies to himself but by sharing them. 

Lots of kids have fantasies about being a superhero. When I was young I used to fantasize about being Mighty Mouse. (His theme song tells about his credo. Click here to hear it and watch a 20 minute episode.) This no doubt says a lot about me. 

These are people who might even buy the AI images below:

All of Trump's current blustering is an attempt to to show the country, and the world, how powerful he is and that he is not someone anyone should consider messing with. Below on the left is how he sees himself and on the right is how I and many others see him.
