Giant Animatronic Donald Trump As Warhammer 40K God Emperor

This was a float at an Italian festival in February:

For those unfamiliar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe, here President Trump is kitted out as the immortal God-Emperor of all mankind. On the float, Trump resembles the Emperor in His fighting prime, not the deathless lich that sits at the center of His life-sustaining Golden Throne, slowly decaying as He tries to maintain order in the chaotic faster-than-light realm of the Warp.

To call the Warhammer 40,000 universe dystopian is to understate the grimness of the venue by several orders of magnitude. As Penny Arcade put it, “The good guys in Warhammer 40K are a theocratic cult that has been engaged in a millennia-long quest for galactic genocide.” And indeed, all the other factions (Chaos demons, Tyranids, Necrons, etc.) are immeasurably worse.

Oh, and Trump critics should be especially thrilled to learn that the immortal, deathless emperor has ruled over the Imperium of Man for over 10,000 years…
