In 2019, the Carnival parade gained international attention for a float depicting then U.S. President Donald Trump dressed as the Emperor from Warhammer 40,000. Many floats had satirized Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un at previous parades.

say-the-line-bart-2 Satire fails when it reinforces the state of mind it purports to undercut, polarizes prejudices, and provokes the very behavior it condemns.

So many people glaze the Emperor that this just makes Trump look cool. I’m currently playing Rogue Trader on a Dogmatic path and I'm worshipping the Emperor in every sentence I say and seeing this kind of made me disgusted with myself.
