There are videos that don’t need explaining - they expose. They don’t just show a face - they reveal an entire mindset. The 2:49-minute video that Donald J. Trump posted on Truth Social 13 hours ago is exactly that - a black-and-white abyss masquerading as political self-staging, but in truth revealing the full extent of narcissism that now governs the highest office in the United States like a fever dream. In this clip, Trump marches down hallways like a resurrected figure. Not merely a president - but a mix of grim action hero, silent avenger, and failed Jedi for the poor. The black-and-white aesthetic? Pseudo-epic. The facial expression? Grim, as if he had just fought a galactic empire - or the teleprompter. Add to that a musical soundtrack that sounds like it was lifted from trailer parks of second-rate superhero parodies. Except here, the protagonist genuinely believes he is the savior of the world. Who needs political satire when the president so skillfully turns himself into a caricature?
It’s not just the style that’s irritating - it’s the calculation behind it. Trump isn’t selling himself as a politician. He’s selling himself as a myth. As a hairsprayed messiah. As the American reincarnation of Obi-Wan Kenobi - just with worse screenwriting and a tendency toward autocracy rather than enlightenment. The message: Behold, I am your guide through the darkness, your warrior against the establishment, your Donald facing the storm. But what if the storm is just made of smoke machines he ordered himself? A president who craves recognition so desperately that he stages himself like a Marvel character has not only lost all sense of proportion - he has crossed the line into full-blown self-glorification. The video is not a political statement - it is a shrine. A monument to delusions of grandeur. And at the same time, a sobering testimony to how deeply US politics has already descended into the logic of reality television.
It’s grotesque - but also dangerous. Because in a country grappling with real crises - from inflation to war to social upheaval - this kind of self-staging feels like a slap in the face to anyone who still believes in dignity, clarity, and leadership. Instead of offering solutions, Trump delivers pathos. Instead of debate - drama. Instead of politics - posing. In the end, the feeling is one of having witnessed an embarrassing talent show audition - except the contestant is already president, and no one can boo him off the stage. And so he stands there: Donald Trump, the first president of the United States to present himself in a video clip as a cross between Darth Vader, Rocky Balboa, and an overzealous vacuum cleaner salesman. A man who once became president - and now merely plays himself. Just not very well.
