they are such pros, have been for years, and Dems have ignored, for example Prof. Lakoff.

This is propaganda aimed at his base, and not simply a mindless emotional outburst. It was certainly planned in advance, maybe by Stephen Miller?

And what a strongman message! His cult members must really get off on seeing themselves as hapless, vulnerable, persecuted victims.

No matter how hard the MAGAts try with their shitty memes, the orange clown will NEVER be cool, tough, intelligent, etc.

That orange shitstain is the symptom. I am after the ignorant tRump voters. And bluntly, when more of us understand this, then we start to heal.

There are Republicans that are working hard day and night at creating mind bending propaganda.
Trump didn't come up with this, I'm sure, but he saw the value of the twisted message and sat for the photo.

This kicks the MAGGATs in their paranoia bone pretty nicely.
Much more effective than telling people what you will do for them.

He's not worried about his constituents; he knows no one is after them. His photo says, "I'm after you."

His photo says "I'm gonna get you."

That tweet is not a warning. It's a threat.

...and thus the mismatch. For the original purpose, he was supposed to look menacing and intimidating.

On edit: should have looked a little farther down. Source identified below.

And all this is , is him trying desperately to project onto others what he's done. He's after Americans. He wants to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and use his tax scam giving billions to the wealthy and us his deficit as his excuse. He'll be claiming these programs are bad , and failing to then claim he's going to make it much better, just like he said he'd have a much better health care plan, which was all a lie. This is just more pr for self promotion, while he again shows contempt for the truth.
