When a Leader Turns His Weapons on His Own People...Even in Fantasy

The day Donald Trump posted an AI video showing him in a jet...dumping shit on Americans

The Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter #608: Sunday, October 19th, 2025.

The world watched a so-called leader-Donald Trump- post an AI video of himself in a fighter jet…dumping shit on his own citizens.
It wasn’t satire. It was a mirror.

Because no democratic soul creates a fantasy where power means humiliation.

That’s not strength…it’s sickness made cinematic.
And it’s the clearest warning yet of what happens when ego replaces empathy…and leadership curdles into spectacle.

1. It signals contempt, not confidence

A secure…stable leader uses imagery of protection and unity.
A frightened or narcissistic one uses imagery of dominance and punishment.

By choosing a scene where they’re “dumping shit on their own citizens,” Trump is broadcasting that they view the population not as partners or equals…but as subjects.
That’s contempt dressed up as bravado.

2. It’s projection…turning insecurity into spectacle

Authoritarian personalities often externalize fear.
When a leader feels their legitimacy slipping…they perform power theatrically.
AI imagery becomes a mirror for their internal fantasy: “I’m still in control. I can still make them afraid.”

The more absurd or violent the imagery…the greater the insecurity it’s compensating for.

3. It normalizes violence as entertainment

Using artificial imagery to depict harm against citizens desensitizes followers.
It trains the public to see aggression as humor…rebellion…or strength rather than as moral collapse.
Every repetition moves the boundary of what’s “acceptable” political expression.
This is how authoritarian propaganda evolves…from outrageous joke to operational doctrine.

4. It’s a loyalty test

Inside strong-man politics…shocking imagery functions as a loyalty filter.
Those who laugh or defend it prove allegiance to the leader’s narrative over shared decency.
Those who criticize it become “enemies.” (I’m clearly criticizing it. I hope you will, too.)
It turns a digital post into a psychological weapon that divides the population.

5. It’s a confession disguised as art

When a leader publishes imagery of themselves attacking their own citizens…it’s an unguarded confession of worldview:

“You exist for my performance.”
They no longer see the public as people…but as props.
That’s the final stage before governance collapses into spectacle and cruelty.

6. What it tells you to watch for

Escalation:

Expect harsher rhetoric and real-world intimidation that mirrors the imagery.

Dehumanization:

Increased framing of dissenters as vermin, traitors, or “subhuman.”

Cult maintenance:

Followers will rationalize or glorify the act, deepening the personality-cult logic.

Institutional erosion:

Officials who stay silent signal that the system now serves the ego, not the constitution.

7. The healthy counter-signal

Democratic leaders who actually respect citizens respond with opposite imagery:

• The leader listening instead of threatening.

• The citizen participating instead of obeying.

• Power shared, not performed.

That contrast tells you everything about the moral direction of a government.

Bottom line:

When Trump posted an AI video of himself attacking his own people…it’s not satire…it’s pathology.

It reveals insecurity…contempt for citizens…and a willingness to weaponize imagination against democracy.

In free societies…the correct response isn’t to laugh…it’s to notice what it reveals and organize to ensure it never becomes real.
