DC Comics Superheroes: Donald Trump and Allies in a New Era of US Politics
Former President Donald Trump posted a poorly edited image of himself, Elon Musk, and political allies as DC Comics superheroes on his Truth Social platform on Thursday night. The image, depicting Trump as Superman with 'TRUMP 2024' emblazoned on his chest, went viral and caught the attention of many.
In the image, which was shared without a caption, Trump's face is photoshopped onto a superhero outfit, alongside his allies, including JD Vance as Batman and Kamala Harris as Superwoman. Although the editing job was of low quality, the post marks an interesting intersection of US politics and pop culture.
This image comes just days after Trump announced a new collection of NFT trading cards featuring himself in various heroic poses. Such representations illustrate how Trump continues to cast himself as a superhero figure to his base, further intertwining US news, political drama, and digital media.
