Leave it to the Italians to take the Trump-as-giant-baby to a place more Baroque in meaning. An annual Italian festival features big floats of Trump. This year he appears as an online game character but with the title favored by some of his most loyal followers.
God-Emperor Trump has been a long-standing RWNJ meme, with Milo Yiannopoulos devoting a YouTube page to it.
"The Master-Drone"
by Fabrizio Galli
The supreme myth of having power over the whole universe. The first. God Emperor Trump. The parallelism with the dominant character of Warhammer 40K has never been more fitting, except that this is not a futuristic three-dimensional tabletop wargame but pure reality. Donald wants to go back to the moon, travel to Mars and create the first space army. Ultras Marines? Mega Marines? The time of intellectuals, philosophers and of old and worn culture is over. We have entered the era of fantasy, videogames and virtual life. The dominant male par-excellence has arrived, democratically, and is now here, among us. The Master-Drone flies over the Viareggio boardwalk as we prepare to pay the price.

Will Fox News get the joke and realize it’s not complimentary. Probably not the Fox and Friends crew, even considering that the 2017 version was a critique of the US attitude toward the Second Amendment.
Although he wasn’t there in person, President Donald Trump made an appearance at Italy’s Viareggio Carnevale over the weekend.
The float, titled, “The Master Drone,” was created by Fabrizio Galli and depicted Trump as a God emperor from the Warhammer 40,000 series. In the series, the Emperor of Mankind is the greatest embodiment of universal order. As written on the parade’s website, the parallelism between Trump and the character in the series has “never been more fitting."

There are even less complimentary floats in European parades that comment on Trump, but then the Trump era is really is about the kinds of criminal organizations that are common there. The real imperium operating inside the WH owns 45*.
1/ The mob developed in Sicily & Naples in the mid-1800s because the actual government was too weak to perform basic oversight duties. In the absence of regulations of any kind, folks turned to organized bands of thieves to settle disputes, offer protection, and mete out justice.
2/ So right off the bat, the conservative notion of "government being the problem" is both idiotic and historically wrong. We NEED governance. It can either be done by elected officials or by hoodlums. But it's a necessity.
MOB GROWS WHERE GOVERNMENT ISN’T.
3/ The quaint Italian mob depicted in GoodFellas, The Sopranos, and the Godfather films is NOT the mob of today. These outfits were absorbed by the Russian “Vor” in the 1990s, after the breakup of the Soviet Union. (I say “Russian,” but this is shorthand for former Soviet bloc).
4/ The head of the Russian mob today is Semion Mogilevich, aka The Brainy Don. He is Ukrainian by birth, Jewish enough to have acquired an Israeli passport, and currently a Russian national, living in Moscow.
He is the capo di tutti capi of the Vor. He is THE bad guy.
5/ Don Corleone is to Semion Mogilevich as Roy Raymond is to Leslie Wexner, or as McDonald the hamburger stand guy is to Ray Croc.
Mogilevich took the mob big time.
The Russian mob is more like SPECTRE than like GoodFellas.
6/ Putin is the public face of the operation. He lends an air of legitimacy to the operation, as he is nominally a head of state. But he is also a mobster. He and Mogilevich work like hand in glove.
Russia is a mafiya state, governed by mob rules—like Sicily in 1860.
7/ If you want to find the common link in every villain of the Trump/Russia universe, it’s this: MOB.
Whether this means the Russian “state” or the Vor, it’s all the same thing.
It’s all MOB.
8/ Obvious example: Michael Cohen and Felix Sater, childhood friends with long ties to the Russian mob.
Sater especially is a charming guy. Doesn’t erase who he is or where he came from.
9/ Less obvious example: in the 1980s, Mogilevich had a business partner named Robert Maxwell—a wealthy media magnate. Born in Czechoslovakia, Maxwell was a British national & an alleged Mossad agent (codename: Little Czech).
10/ Maxwell died in 1991 when he fell off his yacht. He was in quite a bit of legal & financial trouble at the time. His body was buried in state in Jerusalem, without an autopsy, so we don’t know if he was killed, killed himself, or just fell off the boat.
11/ Robert Maxwell had a daughter named Ghislaine. Her longtime boyfriend was—wait for it—Jeffrey Epstein.
This means that Epstein had a long & intimate relationship with the daughter of a business partner of Semion Mogilevich.
So: MOB.
12/ American politicians who are in deep with Russian IC agents? That’s a different side of the same mob coin. But it’s still MOB.
13/ Anyone who had extensive dealings with these three Russian spies is also implicated:
14/ The Russian mob trades in the heinous & the horrible. Human trafficking is a big operation for them. Opioids, too. Nuclear and chemical weapons. Blood diamonds. They will do ANYTHING for money.
And they have SO MUCH FUCKING MONEY that it requires armies to launder it all.
15/ That’s who Trump is. He’s a money launderer, one of countless mob money launderers the world over. He has been laundering mob money for decades.
Thus, the mob pwns him. Hence these sit-downs with Putin with no one on our side taking notes.
16/ In other words, Trump isn’t even an IMPORTANT mobster. He’s a cog in the big washing machine.
The presidency has been hijacked by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian mob, with predictable results:

18/ The mob's ties to men of means don’t end there.
Hollywood, the music industry, and yes, journalism—the mob has its tentacles in all of this stuff:
Good Morning Warriors!
Sometimes, you just need to see all the pieces together - in one place - to truly get it.
So, thanks to the kid's latest article, I'm gonna THREAD some dragon fire on David Pecker, The Dotard, Mark Burnett and... THE MOB.
19/ Here is a great thread by @ninaandtito, who knows way more about this than I do
20/ So how do we defeat such a formidable foe? The first step is to identify the villain. Knowing is half the battle, as GI Joe has it.
These mobsters are greedy, slimy fuckers who would sell their grandmother to cannibals to make a few more kopeks. Trump is one of them.
21/ The good news is, Robert Mueller has been working this angle for most of his adult life. He well knows the enemy. And if he was just targeting Trump and his idiot spawn, this would be over by now.
Bobby Three Sticks is tearing this noxious weed out by the root.
Les jeux sont faits, motherfuckers.
Judgment Day is coming.
WE SHALL PREVAIL!
