I think it's a reference to Trump wanting to install the new leader of Iran (modern day Persia). I guess they're implying that Marco Rubio as Secretary of State would be picked and this is showing him like Xerxes, the Persian King, with this depiction similar to how he's seen in the movie 300:

Ahh fuck, didn't realize it was Marco's face...at least I think it is...isn't it?

I'm pretty sure it's him from the meeting with Zelensky in the White House that was really bad, and Rubio was pretty silent during while Trump and Vance were criticizing Zelensky

Yes, all of that. Each time the US invades or bombs another country the running joke is Rubio will be their new president.

Nah, after the first couple of minutes the metal is skin temperature. And it's sheltering his nips from the AC

I thought the new Prince of Persia was cancelled?

Can't fool me! Iran would never accept Leia as their ruler. Even in the slave costume.
