In what appear to be attempts to appeal to younger demographics, Donald Trump‘s campaign team has regularly shared memes of the former The Apprentice host with connections to various pop culture figures, with his latest effort seeing him take the place of Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. While there may have been those who sided with Thanos’ perspective on how to bring balance to the universe, most audiences and characters within in the Marvel Cinematic Universe saw him as an undeniable villain, resulting in social media being utterly perplexed as to why he would willingly want to be connected with a figure known for killing half of the living universe.

Despite the confusion surrounding the video, the efforts may have ultimately paid off, as Thanos has begun to dominate social media. Based on the popularity of both Endgame and last year’s Avengers: Infinity War, it’s no surprise to see how many people are talking about the villain, but this new meme has resulted in one of the more unexpected reasons for the character to trend on Twitter.

He was the BAD GUY, btw.
Impeachment is INEVITABLE. https://t.co/xIAU8shpT2
Hilarious Failure
Thanos was a maniac with a demented form “justice, and @realDonaldTrump‘s team just used the part where Thanos LOSES to the Avengers as some pitiful attempt at appealing to masses. I find this to be a hilarious failure that makes me smile on so many levels.

Watch the Movie
Thanos was a genocidal maniac who died at the end of Avengers.

Self Own
I mean, obviously Thanos is the bad guy and they’re idiots for making Trump Thanos in that video. But beyond that, just in the vacuum of that clip, Thanos snaps and…. nothing happens. How can you make that video and not realize it’s a brutal self own? Yeah, Trump has no power.
