Superman Raised by Donald Trump: The Legal and Moral Implications
The hypothetical scenario of Superman being raised by Donald Trump has sparked intrigue and imagination in both pop culture enthusiasts and scholars. While it may make for a compelling story in the realm of Elseworlds, this alternative universe raises profound questions about the application of Superman’s powers under a Trump-like moral and legal framework. This article explores the implications of such a scenario, delving into the legal and moral dimensions of Trump’s approach to power and its potential impact on Superman.
Introduction to the Legal Aftermath
Imagine a world where an attorney converted into a federal prisoner, leading to an interesting situation. What happens when an attorney goes to federal prison is chronicled in ldquo;Laughing All the Way to the Bank Robbery: My Education in Con College.rdquo; This book offers insights into the dark underbelly of the legal system, which may mirror some of the themes found in the Superman story if shaped by a Trump-like persona.
The Radiant Imagination: The Reality of a Trump-Supersham
Looking up, a strange sight appears a flying object that could either be a Berk or a TrumpAir plane, depending on your perspective. However, this is none other than Superham, with a twist. If Superman were raised by Donald Trump, his approach to using his powers would be drastically different. He would likely embrace the necessity of killing to achieve his goals, much like a modern-day Hitler, albeit within the confines of the law. The question is, would this make him a better hero, or a darker one?
Nazi Superman: The Global Dictator
With a solar-powered sun god at the disposal of Trump, the implications could be catastrophic. In this world, Trump would make all the decisions, much like Hitler in a dictatorship state on a global scale. He might construct walls, invade other nations, and engage in preemptive strikes against perceived threats. His decisions might include his business interests, making Trump Steaks the only source of red meat to distribute, and imposing passports of specific colors based on skin tone, with special markings denoting inferior races.
Ethical and Economic Implications
Turning Superman’s vast powers into a tool for raising the standard of living for everyone isn’t as straightforward as it seems. The simplistic ldquo;moral purityrdquo; of comic book heroes often comes at the cost of effective use of their powers. It would be imperative for us to consider the practicalities and implications of such a scenario.
Accepting the Necessity of Killing
From a practical standpoint, a superhuman like Superman raised by Donald Trump would likely be more willing to accept the necessity of killing bad guys. However, he would require a legal due process to determine whether the killing is actually necessary. This is a stark contrast to the simplistic morality often found in comic books, where bad guys are simply taken out without much ado.
Money and Lives
Additionally, Superman raised by Trump would recognize that saving money saves lives. In a world where billions of people subsist on less than a dollar a day, it is crucial to understand the economic impact of using superpowers. When the cost of causing billions of dollars of property damage to subdue bad guys is considered, the billions of people affected by such decisions are overlooked.
Producing Wealth for Greater Lives
Much like Batman, but with superpowers, a Trump-raised Superman would focus on supporting high-level capital investment in wealth production. This approach would ensure that the creation of new sources of wealth would save even more lives, striking a balance between moral purity and practical necessity.
Conclusion
The idea of Superman raised by Donald Trump is a fascinating thought experiment that forces us to consider the ethical and practical implications of powerful beings in leadership positions. While this scenario may result in a darker protagonist, it also raises important questions about the balance between moral purity and practical necessity. Perhaps the key lesson is that the moral framework within which power is exerted can significantly shape the outcome of a hero’s journey.
Whether Superman would thrive or falter under such a mentor is open to interpretation, but it is certain that the world he inhabits would be very different.
