The version of this promo for Trump’s ringside pay-per-view of the boxing match which in his malignant narcissism he thought was appropriate for the anniversary of 9-11 had him depicted with a head just a bit too small for his body. Indeed, one could say that it was accurate in a way since he is a pinhead.
In his own mind, he has the biggest brain which of course needs an enormous carapace (when’s the last time you read this word in a political blog) to contain it.
Trump actually does have one thing in common with Sylvester Stallone in that both pretend to be someone they aren’t. According to the Screenrant article 13 Actors Who Are Legitimate Tough Guys And 12 Who Are Only Tough On Screen:
Sylvester Stallone first came to prominence as Rocky Balboa in the Rocky film series and later played the super-soldier John Rambo in the Rambo series. Widely shared anecdotes suggest that while he tries to live up to his onscreen tough guy image, he isn't much tougher than the average joe.
Once, while auditioning for a role in Rocky III, the heavyweight boxer Earnie Shavers had to spar with Stallone. Although Shavers did not want to hurt Stallone, he was forced to hit a little harder when it appeared that Stallone was unimpressed with his effort.
Stallone doubled up and rushed to the bathroom where he was heard vomiting for several minutes. He later said that Shavers "nearly killed" him. In a separate incident, Dolph Lundgren (who has a black belt in karate, see article) sent Stallone to the hospital for days with only one punch.
Stallone pretends onscreen and the pretense is good for ticket sales. Whether he believes the hype or not can’t be determined. Trump, on the other hand, most likely believes his tough guy rhetoric.
Of course we all remember how Trump was widely mocked on Twitter when he tweeted this image of himself.
The boxing promo uses the Rocky body again only with a smile replacing the scowl which was no doubt meant to be intimidating.
Trump in his deluded mind probably actually believes what he said here:
"If I had to fight somebody in the world, not only a professional boxer because I'll take a pass on the professional boxers, that would be a very dangerous subject. But If I had to box somebody, I think probably my easiest fight would be Joe Biden because I think he'd go down very, very quickly... I think Biden would go down within the first few seconds."
