Of course. He's still the point man doing the delivery and he's consistently shown that he isn't--and can't be--on the same wavelength of a native US citizen. That's not a personal knock, mind you. Put Jon Stewart in Johannesburg doing a show and watch the same thing happen.

No I understand that, and if you have one villain in the marvel universe pull a trump, then fine, When you keep doing it with new villains, it stops being funny and it just becomes eyerolling cringe. It's not funny or interesting to read about a joke you've told 6 times in the past month.

All those stupid, shallow government officials who are hilariously corrupt and openly selfish? All those elections where one side speaks to hatred and poo poo to get the voting block riled up, before Captain America runs in and gives a speech about how America is weak, and needs protecting? Saturday morning cartoon characters who are TOO obviously on-the-nose greedy and cowardly and all talk to be real, yet still have a ring of truth? Those are what Trump is like in real life. Truth is stranger than fiction, and Trump is stranger still.

But it's still lost all of its humor value and become groan inducing. I am not american, and comic books used to be able to tell a globally interesting or funny story. Things like this, that's fine as a joke in one book, but when multiple books run through the same joke, it stops being funny, it just becomes stagnant and boring.

Out of curiosity, because I haven't really been paying attention, how many Trumpalogues has Marvel done in the past year? So far I've only seen the MODOK version. What others have there been?

harf darf I'm Trumper Dumper Doooo gets boring as poo poo around the 4th iteration. Here's a funny comic panel from an awesome horror series called Nailbiter, which is entirely about a cannibal serial killer helping a smalltown female cop track down other serial killers. This is in the first volume, too:

As a rabbit owner it's actually nowhere near as cute as you imagine because at 6am it'll be hungry and just dump its furry body on your face to resolve the matter.
