So, not long ago, I got into Persona 5. I've got to say, that game really speaks to me. It is an awesome story with awesome characters and an amazing "stick it to the man" kind of vibes that I can absolutely get behind.
So, I've been thinking, in regards to the villains of Persona 5/Royal, the bad guys, encase you don't know, have a realm of their own in an alternate reality of sorts called the Metaverse, where they have a Palace that takes on a form of their distorted desires.
For example, the first villain, Kamoshida, has his palace in the form of a castle that is situated on the same spot as Shujin Academy, meaning that Kamoshida sees the entire school as his castle. Within the castle contains a number of his disturbing desires, such as perverted images, since he's a pervert, as well as a dungeon-like chamber where cognitions of the volleyball team are tortured in several disturbing ways, such as being held to a volleyball net and being wacked constantly, running on a treadmill towards water while the other end contains a spike-wheel and one other being hanged upside down, his hands bound behind his back and projectiles being shot at him constantly. Even though none of these cognitions are real people, it is still disturbing to watch and similar incidences are being inflicted on the actual volleyball team. The girls, however, are...being treated like images of his perverted desires. Ann Takamaki is seen as his main doll, taking on the image of her in a bikini wearing a tiara with cat ears on them. And, of course, Kamoshida, or rather, his Shadow within the Metaverse, is a king who rules the castle because that's exactly what he sees himself as.
Although, not all palaces are created by bad people as one such palace of Futaba Sakura is a tomb that is one the same spot as her adopted father's house, Sojiro Sakura, a friend of her late mother, as she was blamed for her mother's death due to a suicide note forged by members of the Anti-Social Society. Because of this, she suffers from crippling depression, causing her to desire death, thus her palace is an egyptian tomb.
The worst palace of all is Masayoshi Shido's palace, which is a massive cruise ship sailing through a post-apocalyptic, water-drenched Japan, a representation of how little he cares about the country.
In order for the Phantom Thieves, the heroes of the game, to find the palace, they would need to input keywords into a mysterious Metaverse app that mysteriously appeared on their phones. They would input the name of who the palace owner is, for example Suguru Kamoshida, where the palace is located, such as Shujin Academy, and what the palace takes on the form of, in the first owner's case, a castle. Other forms that the palaces have taken on the forms of are a museum, a bank, a tomb, a space station, a casino and a cruise ship.
Now, back to the matter at hand. I was thinking, if Donald Trump was a villain of Persona 5, I would imagine that he would have a palace of his own. It would be the entire United States of America with a single base, much like the floating bank above the entire Shibuya district for Junya Kaneshiro, and as for what his palace would be? A warzone. Yeah, I would imagine his distorted desires would be to sow chaos across all of America, with his base being a bunker/theatre made of solid gold so that he can watch the chaos unfold like some sick, twisted spectacle. His followers would be like Persona 5 Strikers where people lose their minds if their Shadows who are brought to another Metaverse realm called Jails and have their Desires, jewel-like objects, removed from them. In this case, those people, the MAGA supporters, would willingly lend their Desires to him and in exchange, they become members of his MAGA army, complete with the stupid MAGA hats, fighting against anyone who would dare to oppose him!! Yeah, that sounds so much like the kinds of distorted desires he would have. And let's not forget his Shadow containing a lot of things robbed from the American people kept within his bunker. That sounds about right. As for his Shadow, he would look like the picture perfect man overlord of America. His Shadow's name would be Narcissus.
So, yeah, if he were a villain in Persona 5, that's what I believe his Palace would be like.
