On Tuesday, a Twitter account managed by Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign team posted a video depicting the president as Marvel villain Thanos, inserting the president’s face in a scene from “Avengers: Endgame.”
“I am inevitable,” Trump’s Thanos says, snapping his fingers and causing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others to dissolve into dust, much like what happened to many Marvel heroes.

Twitter users were quick to point out how the bizarre the video was. For starters, many noted that Thanos tried to kill off half the universe and briefly succeeded. Also — and Trump’s campaign might want to note this — Thanos ultimately loses.
However, perhaps the definitive response came from Thanos co-creator and comics legend Jim Starlin himself.
“After my initial feeling of being violated, seeing that pompous fool using my creation to stroke his infantile ego, it finally struck me that the leader of my country and the free world actually enjoys comparing himself to a mass murderer,” Starlin said in a statement to HuffPost. “How sick is that?”
He continued: “These are sad and strange times we are going through. Fortunately all things, even national nightmares, eventually come to an end.”
HuffPost also reached out to Disney and Marvel but they did not immediately respond.
Starlin raises a good point: who person in their right mind would want to compare themselves to thanos? The guy killed 50% of every planet he visited. He had a god complex. He wiped out half of the entire universe with one snap.
Captain America KICKED HIS ASS. Trump compares himself to someone whom Captain AMERICAN stood AGAINST.
And ultimately: Thanos won the first time...and lost the second time...much like how Donald's election will go.
No person of any sane, sound mind would defend this.
And no, Trumpers--this isn't a "joke" like you guys all love saying every time Trump says something batshit crazy: this is fantasy from the diseased mind of Donald Trump. Every single meme he's posted or had other people post for him represented empires, totalitarian rule and bloody battlefields.
There is no sane, rational defense for this. share
