In a characteristically rambling post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said that the indictment ‘hoax’ was the fault of misfits – and mutants

What does it mean if the X-Men are out to get you?

I’m going to be honest but Trump blaming mutants was not on my bingo card. Is it X-Men variety or more TMNT?

Is Swamp Thing a mutant? It’d explain Trump wanting to “drain the swamp”; maybe he was being literal?

But not a supervillain. More of a secondary, background villain who takes orders from someone higher up.

Swamp Thing is actually an Earth Elemental.

there had been dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Swamp Things since the dawn of humanity, and that all versions of the creature were designated defenders of the Parliament of Trees, an elemental community which rules a dimension known as “the Green” that connects all plant life on Earth.

It’s the Warhammer 40k variety and we’re all about to get bombarded from the heavens in the name of the God-Emperor of Mankind for tolerating their presence on Holy Terra no less.

I can’t prove it but it really, really feels like this is his way of grabbing the transphobic voter base of the right without actually saying something direct about transgender people. He uses words like MUTANT and lets his potential voters read that however they want, because he knows that voting group is pretty much the only ones supporting Desantis, who seems to base his entire platform on hate and fear.

Oh…oh my fucking god. I thought that Trump couldn’t get any lower in my estimation, but here we are.

Going lower than anyone thought was possible is one of the few things Trump excels at.

Fucking stupid republican probably doesn’t realize the irony in calling trans people Marvel comic “mutants”. The mutants were mistreated by conservatives in those books and rounded up and sent to camps. A holocaust survivor championed their cause leading many to fight back against the human Nazis.

Considering how X-Men has long been an allegory for queer identity and the attempted oppression thereof, I hope trans people will take this as the unintentional compliment he didn’t intend it to be. In this world where conformity is choking the planet and multiplying suffering, being different is a superpower.

Fuck Trump with a fork along with anyone who supports him.

I just have to tell you your comment really struck a chord with me.

This is beautifully worded. Keep fighting the good fight and spreading your kindness :)
