Throughout his political career, Donald Trump has evoked a nightmarish vision of America and the world. In Trump’s diseased mind there are demons in every shadow and monsters under every bed. And all of them are hell-bent on destroying him due to his saintly virtue.

Trump relentlessly portrays himself as a comic book hero warrior battling on behalf the enfeebled peasants who cannot survive without him. But he comes off as a pathetic loser steeped in victimhood who only cares about himself. His seething weakness and fear is glaring to anyone not blinded by the worshipful idolatry he demands of his devotees.

This week Trump released his deranged version of a campaign ad on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It reaffirmed his grotesque impression of the nation that he aspires to lead – no, make that rule over. The video is a horror show of ghastly imagery and looming threats. As he walks down a dark hallway with his customary pained grimace, Trump says in voiceover that…

“This is the final battle. With you at my side we will abolish the Deep State. We expel the war mongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We will cast out the communists. Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media. And we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.”

Trump’s message most closely resembles that of an aspiring messiah. Notice that his single focus is that he will remove all manner of imagined atrocities that plague the nation and its tortured citizens. It is all about who he will “abolish, expel, drive/cast out, throw off,” and “rout.” Of course, everyone that he is declaring will be banished are merely Americans who dare to disagree with him, and the legal authorities seeking to hold him accountable for his multitude of crimes.

When he’s done, Trump’s concept of the nation would have about 10% of the population, consisting only of his embittered cult disciples. It’s a recasting of the divine doctrine that he is the only savior for the sorry sacks who salivate over him. He frequently tells his followers that they are the targets of the evildoers, but that he is taking the blows on their behalf. In other words, he’s dying for their sins.

Death and morbidity (and salvation) are common themes in Trump World. This campaign ad is reminiscent of his prior messaging wherein he whines that “Our nation is now third world and dying,” and that “the American dream is dead!” That’s when he isn’t fear mongering about America being plagued by “blood-soaked streets” in “cesspool cities.” And don’t forget his inaugural address in 2017 that gleefully warned of “American Carnage.”

The “optimism” in Trump’s campaign ad is sure to expand the voter base – of Democrats. He is simply incapable of expressing himself in any terms that are remotely positive or uplifting. The entire strategy of Trump’s Republican Party and MAGA movement is to manufacture as much dread of the future – and hatred of the “others” – as possible. It may be the one thing that he’s any good at. But unfortunately for him, it won’t help him to achieve his goal of Putinesque tyranny.
