You’d be hard-pressed to find a more universally revered Twitter figure than @dril. For a medium that so readily engenders hate, just about every person adores the weird Twitter user and his fabricated persona that’s the perfect mixture of musculature, bravado, and emasculation.
You’d also be very hard-pressed to find a more universally despised person on Twitter than our current president. His off-the-cuff remarks often enrage the internet, bringing about scorn and vitriol.
That’s weird because the two—one loved, one hated—are pretty much the same person on the social platform. I first noticed the similarities when Donald Trump tweeted “see you in court,” after his travel ban was struck down, a nonsensical threat because he had just lost in court.
SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

The completely sincere sense of umbrage—even after knowing you’ve been thoroughly and properly defeated—reminded me of one of @dril’s most popular tweets ever.
"im not owned! im not owned!!", i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob

In fact, every time Trump invokes the judiciary, he uses a tone that is distinctly @dril.
The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017
judges are bullshit, your honor

Call it Dril’s Law. For every single thing Donald Trump has tweeted, Dril did it earlier and better.
They’ve had similar issues with women and strike a similar tone on the subject.
Nothing ever happened with any of these women. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Nobody has more respect for women than me!

im the good man whorespects his followers, i respect the artistriy of tweeting and i respect my girl followers also. nuff said dip shit

I have tremendous respect for women and the many roles they serve that are vital to the fabric of our society and our economy.

As you may have guessed, their thoughts on our last president, Barack Obama, are downright identical.
I don't hate Obama at all, I just think he is an absolutely terrible president, maybe the worst in our history!

Under Obama, Iran has taken over Iraq, Al Qaeda has taken over Libya, the Muslim Brotherhood now controls Egypt. Worst foreign policy ever.

Neither of them think Obama was born in the United States, that’s for sure.
An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

#itsuckswhen stupid presidents hide there birth certificate…

And they both want the United States to build better nukes, a position @dril took long ago.
The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes

@USArmy you should invent a gun that sjhoots nuclear bullets

The Ebola crisis really showed just how identical their tweets are.
The Ebola doctor who just flew to N.Y. from West Africa and went on the subway, bowling and dining is a very SELFISH man-should have known!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 24, 2014
is it true that the ebola man works at a @cocacola plant. it would be fucked up if he touched the cans and shit,
— wint (@dril) October 1, 2014
And both of them believe in the power of the internet.
How do you fight millions of dollars of fraudulent commercials pushing for crooked politicians? I will be using Facebook & Twitter. Watch!

why won't anyone fight me on this site. i want to slam one of you smug motherfuckers to hell, with the good words that i type and post here.
— wint (@dril) July 28, 2013
Hell, @dril was claiming “this negative story about me is fake” way before our current commander-in-chief.
Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up by women (many already proven false) and pushed big time by press, have impact!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 17, 2016
ive been legally advised to state that the video of me being escorted out of a hospital while clutching a nerf gun ansd making noise is fake

But really, it’s everything. Look at all these tweets. Once you see it, you can’t stop seeing it.
Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag – if they do, there must be consequences – perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!

Dril’s real identity has never been made public. What if Donald Trump is @dril? Would it be any stranger than Donald Trump being president of the United States?
