That Will Never Be Rome

EXXON McDonald's MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN That will never be Rome MONSTER EXXON

A cartoon character wearing a MAGA hat and sunglasses sits at a restaurant table surrounded by American fast-food and gas-station imagery. He says, “That will never be Rome,” while the lower panels show a burning building, creating an absurd joke about American culture and the collapse of civilization. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to exaggerated patriotism, Americanization, or comparisons with ancient Rome.
