In a world where political satire meets fantasy, Donald Trump recently became the latest comedy sensation by being imagined as the star of a Lord of the Rings scenario. In this hilarious AI-generated video, Trump takes on the challenging role of trying to broker peace in the mystical lands of Middle Earth. With his signature flair and unmatched negotiation skills, he compares the chaos in Middle Earth to the political landscape of the Middle East. After all, in his view, nobody knows middles better than he does!
Trump’s comic portrayal suggests he has a solid relationship with Saruman, referring to him as someone he’s known for a long time. Saruman, always one to cause trouble, tries to tempt Trump with the prospect of making astronomical sums by joining his dark-side endeavor. Yet, not one to be swayed by just any villain, Trump humorously dismisses this offer, criticizing Saruman’s odd habits like hair-straightening and crystal ball gazing. According to Trump, mingling with a giant evil eyeball was always destined for disaster, and it turns out, he was right.
Despite his amusing criticism of Saruman, Trump saves some of his sharpest satire for Gandalf. He questions the legendary wizard’s fitness and decision-making, pointing out Gandalf’s inability to do a pull-up or commit to a single color. Laughably, Trump claims if he were involved from the start, he’d have planned a stealthy aerial drop of the One Ring directly into Mount Doom, using military-grade equipment to bypass any evil surveillance.
With Trump humorously disappointed in Gandalf for not inviting him to the crucial meeting about the ring, he mocks the faltering plans that followed. The once-mighty saga is reduced to chaos with the ring now allegedly in the hands of a shoeless hobbit possibly accompanied by Gollum—an outcome Trump deems a disaster. This parody presents Middle Earth’s issues as something that could have been resolved swiftly with a touch of Trump’s avant-garde strategy.
Meanwhile, a punchline lands with the claim that a fictional “Marco” is on the ground in Middle Earth. Apparently, Marco is meant to resolve this mess and make a significant deal soon, as if setting up a fantastical bridge between Middle Earth and real-world politics. Whether or not a peace agreement is imminent is left unsaid, but one thing is clear—this parody perfectly merges Middle Earth’s grandeur with a tongue-in-cheek take on contemporary political antics.
