There's speculation this image comes from the Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. But... 🚫 We couldn’t find a matching scene in the film. 💻 We know it was created or edited using Google AI tools.

Versions of this take are popping up a lot. It's an easy logical step . But it's also—weirdly—the most optimistic interpretation of events, because the alternative is so much scarier. That Trump isn't acting in response to blackmail, or out of fear. That he is doing this because he wants to.
