Trump Campaign Tweets Bizarre Video of Trump as Thanos from 'Avengers: Endgame'

Trump Campaign Tweets Bizarre Video of Trump as Thanos from 'Avengers: Endgame'

The following article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame.

The wildly popular Avengers franchise got a political spin on Tuesday in a video from President Donald Trump's reelection campaign featuring disintegrating Democrats and Trump as the super villain Thanos.


The video shows Trump as Thanos claiming "I am inevitable" before snapping his fingers, causing Democratic House leadership to dissolve while announcing articles of impeachment against him.

Watch below.

The video is supposed to echo the GOP talking point that Democrats have sealed Trump's victory in 2020 by bringing forth articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.

However, portraying Trump as Thanos—an intergalactic menace who wipes out half the living beings in the universe before his ultimate defeat—may not have been the best metaphor.

Then again, it may have been accidental perfection.





People couldn't stop pointing out that the moment depicted in the video is right before Thanos is humiliated and defeated.




This isn't the first time Trump and his team have tried and failed to use pop culture to their advantage. Trump himself tweeted a poster of himself a la HBO's Game of Thrones last year, before bringing it to a cabinet meeting. HBO later rebuked him for it.

Marvel has yet to respond to the Trump campaign's video.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
