It's an entire administration whose entire political education comes from the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and popular culture. Being profoundly ignorant, they don't know their own nation's history, and they don't take their inspiration from the great people of history, they get their inspiration from Hollywood action movies, and not even good ones. So they are obsessed with being the "hottest, the "richest," the most popular, etc.

And because they are irredeemably Sociopathic, they think it's perfectly normal to think that way. That's why they've fought so hard to take over America. They see most moral, decent Americans, trying to live moral, decent lives, and don't understand them at all. If we aren't fully on board with whatever chaotic agenda is in their profoundly broken psyches, then we must be the ones with the problem, and we need to be dominated, forced to submit, or eliminated.

So this guy thinks he was being a badass with his poor reading of a Samuel L Jackson monologue, like a high school drama student auditioning for the school musical, and he just came off as pathetically cringe.
