The float, titled, "The Master Drone," was created by Fabrizio Galli and depicted Trump as a God emperor from the Warhammer 40,000 series. In the series, the Emperor of Mankind is the greatest embodiment of universal order. As written on the parade's website, the parallelism between Trump and the character in the series has "never been more fitting."
"Donald wants to go back to the moon, travel to Mars and create the first space army," the website said. "...The time of intellectuals, philosophers and of old and worn culture is over."
The float featured Trump's head, adorned with Romanesque crown. Instead of the president's usually black or blue suit, he was dressed head to toe in gold armor and had talons instead of fingers on one of his hands.
In his hand was the Emperor's Sword, which, in the series, has the ability to slice through even the strongest armor without requiring much effort. Written on the sword were the words, "Dazi Vostri," which translates to "your duties." Near the sword's handles were four blue birds, reflecting the logo of the social media website Twitter, which the president has routinely used to berate his enemies and advocate for his positions.
Footage of the parade broadcast by NoiTv Lucca showed the massive float make its way down the parade route in Viareggio, Italy. Trump's head, hands, eyes and arms were able to move, showing him scanning the crowds that amassed for the annual event.
The Viareggio Carnevale has taken place since 1873 and is considered to be one of the most renowned festivals in Italy and Europe. Political satire has been a major component of the festival since the 1960s and this isn't the first time a float was inspired by America's president.
The Marines, Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres, testified in December that a group of 10 to 12 Antifa members called them "Nazis" and "white supremacists" and attacked them on the street despite their denials that they had no association with the right-wing group demonstrating nearby.During the attack, Godinez said he shouted "I'm Mexican" at the mob, which allegedly led the attackers to call him a "spic" and "wetback." -Daily CallerTorres gave his account of the incident to Fox News in December.
Based on an affidavit filed in the case, the investigation into Alcoff was aided in large part due to reporting by the Daily Caller - which has covered Antifa, and "Smash Racism DC" in particular.Alcoff is an organizer of Smash Racism DC, the Antifa group responsible for mobbing Fox News host and DCNF co-founder Tucker Carlson's house in November and for chasing Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz from a D.C. restaurant in September.Of note, Smash Racism DC co-founder - fired college professor Michael Isaacson, made headlines tweeting about teaching "future dead cops" and assassinating both President Trump and VP Mike Pence the day before they won the 2016 election. Isaacson describes himself as a "pansexual" activist not limited to a gender or sexuality.
Alcoff made significant efforts to separate his true identity from his fanatical personas, "Chepe" and "Jose Martin," TheDCNF reported in December.
When speaking as Chepe and through his Twitter handle @sabokitty, Alcoff has called for the killing of the rich and encourages using violence to bring "a world without capitalism, without private property ... that is socialist and communist."
Alcoff pled not guilty to the charges and is currently out on $15,000 bail. His lawyer did not immediately return a comment. -Daily Caller
Issacson made the media rounds after his controversial tweets - even appearing on Tucker Carlson's show on September 14, 2017 in a performance he was widely ridiculed over.
Isaacson was caught on an undercover Project Veritas video in January 2017 encouraging his supporters to "throat punch" conservatives, which he refers to as Nazis.
"Generally speaking, Nazis will only actually attack people if they strongly outnumber them because Nazis are essentially cowards. So if it's three of them and a homeless guy, they're going to beat him up. If it's one of them and like six other people, they're gonna run the f*ck away," he said.
Seems like a nice bunch of kids...
