Apparently?
Because threatening DC with a low level flyover (350 ft) of Air Force 1 wasn't a strong enough message.

It's not well known byt Shakespeare invented the word 'fanboy' and used it in his works several times, e.g. in Antony & Cleopatra: 'shall be drunken forth & I shall see / Some squeaking Cleopatra fanboy my greatness'. And also in Coriolanus: 'Alone I did it. Fanboy!' Etc.

This sounds like an excerpt from Coriolanus. Am I right?

Considering how many lyrics in the movie of Kiss Me Kate had to be changed, I have always assumed the censors didn’t get the “Coriolanus” joke.

I met him once - fitting a headdress i'd made (Coriolanus) for him. He'd just come in from a rehearsal of a fight scene. He seemed enormous! a Huge presence! like man many times his size. I was utterly awed. and he was very kind.

Trump's Texas rally was all childish name-calling, anti-trans hate, and dimwitted boasts about plundering Venezuela. They're not even pretending to talk to independents and moderates any longer. Their closing strategy is pure MAGA porn all the way down.
