Donald Trump Becomes a Marvel Supervillain in "Spider-Gwen"

[resipsaloquitur]

BTW just reading Trump's nonsensical statements where he can't even structure a sentence properly would be pretty funny if the subject matter weren't so serious.

Absolutely not a Trump supporter here, but I am calling out your superficial attack on his sentence structure here. You're quoting from an interview. Fact: people don't speak in linear sentences when they're giving interviews. They just don't. When you're writing, you have the time and the ability to carefully craft your sentences. When you give an interview and your statements are transcribed into written form, they aren't going to come out like a normal written paragraph. People don't speak like that.

I recently did an interview with an actor, and when I transcribed his comments, they came out similarly unstructured. Again, people don't speak that way.

You want to go after the content of his interview, have at you. You want to go after his sentence structure from an interview? You're just being petty.

My criticism still stands. The very nature of statesmanship has always included verbal skills. Trump is no statesman. I guess you're too young to remember the days when Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley would go at each other unrehearsed. As for actors , those of the past could even sound more intelligent than Trump, particularly those who cut their teeth on the stage. Heck, even a half drunk Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole or Orsen Welles could probably sound more coherent than Trump. Don't they teach debating in the schools anymore? You're taught to present your case in an intelligent manner.

Mein Kampf was published in 1925, so Hitler's goals weren't hard to figure out. The Art of the Deal isn't quite that scary. So seriously, you think that Trump's end goal is mass genocide? Stop drinking the kool-aid...plenty of reasons to disagree with Trump, but America turning into 1930s Germany isn't one of them

I'm more worried about America becoming last-week Britain than 1930's Germany. Trump's platform doesn't need to have any killing on it to resemble Nazi Germany.

You know, hindsight is 20/20. And i dont live in the US, im a latino that lives 4000 miles from there.

Anyways, you dont need to create a concentration camp for that; the technology has advance enough in 70 years that you only need to push a couple of buttons.

I find it ridiculous that there are people offended by Marvel being political. Did those people start reading comics yesterday or what?

Sure, that's what the villain of Sherlock Holmes would say. I'm sick and tired of Trump supporters sneaking into comic and video game boards, and I don't live in the USA.

I'm not a Trump supporter. I just think Hillary Clinton is too corrupt to be president.

And Trump isn't? He's morally corrupt in how he does business. Look into his business dealings with Trump University or when he tried to undercut some Indian tribes who were seeking casino licenses.

[Schrecken]

At first I was really excited because I thought that was a Trump dinosaur, but then realized it was some kinda Llama thing. I wanna see Trump-Rex fight some Raptors or something. Or Maybe Trumpzilla Vs. that Mecha-Trump, and Trumpzilla has to defeat it with minimal damage to his wall. And that girl can point and shout "Trumpzilla!!!!" hysterically while the fight happens.

The Clintons appeared as government villians in Warlock and the Infinity Watch during the Infinity Crusade crossover. Where SHIELD tried to invade Monster Island and were repelled by Mole Man.

Anyway I agree that why does there only have to be one villian. Trump is full of less nuanced hateful rhetoric his actions have yet to be seen. Clintons rhetoric is more nuanced but she is basically spewing the same shit as centrist republicans and democrats. Trump is left to her on foreign policy on his good days and on trade. She is slightly left to him on social issues but even then it's a bit iffy what her position exactly is. Both have disasterous energy policies. Trump is a climate change denier and Clinton might as well be one as her bridge using fracking/natural gas to green energy is a 30 year investment and a death sentence when change should have been made yesterday.

They're both dangerous in different ways however more or less everything people fear of Trump has already been made reality vy Clinton as secretary of state. She can be MODAM.

And as far as the news goes today she probably will get indicted over one of the two of the FBI investigations given that she lied and there are emails proving that she didn't hand everything over, that she tried to wipe the sever, gee server was breached and her IT person took the 5th 130 times. She probably will still continue to try and run as the nominee though.

They should have an independent like Jill Stein in a comic.

It's weird that people make these comparisons using Trump's views, as if he actually means what he says. the appropriate comparison is not to Clinton, it's to someone like Kim Kardashian or Flava Flav. If you want to be more charitable, then maybe he's Eddie Murphy in the Distinguished Gentleman.

If you really REALLY want to take him "seriously", then he's still not Hitler, he's George Wallace: A guy who was anti-KKK, until he found out he couldn't win. Then he decided to be the face of racism and won. Then he allegedly found Jeebus and was anti-segregationist right before he ran again and won one last time. His real belief on the subject is that he should be elected.

That's Trump, except he is probably too ignorant to realize that he has to deliver on at least a couple of campaign promises. You have all these yokels and neo-nazis thinking he's going to build a wall and deport all the Mexicans and Muslims. He wouldn't lift a finger.

He's such an incompetent liar that it becomes an asset -- people think he's lying for them. Say something stupid or racist, take it back, then take back the take-back, then let the gullible find whatever secret message they want.

As far as I can tell, there are only two issues he is passionate about -- making more money and not being made fun of. He can easily arrange the first if he's got a republican congress on his side. Rolling back the first amendment though... He'd probably try, not sure he'd have a lot of success.

It's more than appropriate to parody someone so thin-skinned that they would look for ways to outlaw criticism.

So basically you are saying that we are asked to vote for who we consider to be the lesser of two evils? That's the only choice (besides not voting)that's been offered?

Maybe politics has always been like that but it's only now with Trump and Clinton that we've realised it.

As far as a remember, I always voted not for the best candidate, but against the worst one.
And sometimes I realized too late that they were actually both the worst one (cough françois hollande cough)

Out of the listed former Presidents -- which were 100% "corruption free" while in office?

1. Richard Nixon: Watergate.
2. Gerald Ford: Unconditionally pardon Nixon, relieving him of any duty to stand before a congressional trial, effectively clearing Nixon.
3. Jimmy Carter: Deemed incompetent when the military operations tasked with getting the hostages out of the Tehran embassy failed.
4. Ronald Reagan: Iran–Contra affair -- need I say more?
5. George H. W. Bush: Repeatedly refused to disclose to investigators any personal knowledge concerining the "Iran Contra Affair" -- but his own diaries of that time stated "I'm one of the few people that know fully the details".
6. Bill Clinton: ‎Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, and Paula Jones -- Not necessarily a crime (so to speak) but, really -- need I say more?
7. George W. Bush: Bush's statement in his 2003 State of the Union address that "the British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" has come to symbolize the botched case for war and what critics call the lies of his administration.
