After I finished throwing up after watching the video of yesterday's Kim Jong-Un cabinet meeting in the White House, I ran across Andrew Egger's take on the fickle public support of self-proclaimed "God kings":
That’s the trouble with going around proclaiming yourself god-king. The god-kings of old had it pretty good in fat times—enjoying the credit for keeping things square with the (other) gods, ensuring good weather and bountiful harvests. When things went sour, though—when the rains dried up, the cows didn’t calve, a plague broke out—it didn’t do the king much good to try to tell the people he really had very little to do with any of that. He was probably ending up a ritual sacrifice either way.
When the clay feet of a "god-king" become glaringly apparent, why.... their popularity can drop 5-10 points, seemingly overnight!

They can "lose their heads", or be suspended five-plus feet above ground level with a rope around their neck....

You can actually watch them? After about 3 minutes, I'm ready to gouge my eyes out and put holes in my eardrums.

Can you believe that there are many people who can watch that Trump spew and think "Oh, that is my guy, he's so funny and brilliant"?...Aaaarrgghhh! HOW??

Who said they THINK? If they could REALLY think, then they could not tolerate him.

I watched a few minutes of it.
The phrase that came to mind: Co-ed circle jerk.
