The other day, I joked that a “President Trump” would be something akin to “Immortan Joe” from Mad Max: Fury Road.
Which also makes awesome cosplay, FYI.
After some hurt feelings on Facebook, I am here to apologize.
I was wrong. Donald Trump is nothing like Immortan Joe.
I mean, sure, they’re both loud, wild-haired, angry demagogues..
Nice teeth, though.
…who’ve racked up a bunch of trophy wives…
So many potential First Ladies to copy speeches from!
…and live in massive towers emblazoned with their “brand”…
And in Joe’s case, a literal brand.
…and have gotten rick by screwing workers over through trickle-down economic policies.
And in Joe’s case, literal “trickle-down.”
And, yeah, they both surround themselves with sycophantic offspring…
Yay, Dad!
…while expressing their admiration for thuggish dictators…
“Bullet Farmer, if you’re listening, I hope you find those emails.”
…and their movements are both largely supported by angry white dudes…
WITNESS ME!!!
… that’ll still get defeated by a kick-ass chick in the end.
“Redemption.”
However…
Donald Trump is orange. Immortan Joe is white.
Also, Joe has a six pack.
Completely. Different. Guy.
And so, I apologize.
Trump is an angry, authoritarian, narcissistic, tower-living, power-hungry, ORANGE tyrant.

Whew. I feel better now.
