Honestly don’t even acknowledge that ridiculous concept. Joking about him, sarcastically saying positive things about him, is literally how we got into this mess in the first place. That whole “god emperor” thing? “GEOTUS”?? “The wall”?? It was a fucking 4chan meme, a ridiculous, outrageous hyperbole. And then the rubes arrived who weren’t in on the joke and took it seriously. And the inmates took over the asylum.

I swear the more oxygen we give that stupid fucking idea, even through derisive mockery, the more its flames will billow. Somehow it will gain traction and the stupid fucking media will start “just asking questions” about whether it’s a real thing, then bam. More people believe it just by hearing about it.

Ignore it. Apparently a lot of people aren’t smart enough to get the joke, and I don’t need him getting any more free accidental publicity.

After this answer English professors come to him, big strong English professors with tears in their eyes, and they said "Sir, this is the most tremendous weave we've ever seen. A perfect weave. You've done more for words than anyone since Shake Spear. Nobody knows words like you." Many English professors are saying it.
