That should’ve been a deleted scene honestly.
You could delete Sean Penn’s revival and second death at the White supremacist’s office from this movie, And the implication would be that he died from the auto accident. The revival was unnecessary, and didn’t advance the plot. I have the other characters like Bob Ferguson even knew that Sean Penn survived that ordeal. It would’ve been much more effective had he just died at the scene of the crash.
There are a few other scenes I felt should’ve been deleted.
In one scene, the agents asked the girl’s if she has a phone. They say no.
Later, they’re interrogated again, and this time, the trans one confesses that she has a phone.
Then, in the next shot the girl is driving with Regina Hall, and throws her phone out the window.
If we delete the two scenes where the trans kid admits she has a phone and the shot of the girl throwing the phone out of the window, then it would simply stand as she didn’t have a phone.
this film should’ve been cleaned up a little more in the editing process.

Disagree completely. I thought that was the best scene in the movie.
The fact that he got the promotion , fancy new office, etc. Then he just dies. Makes the whole promotion pointless. Makes his whole life pointless. Because everyone dies some day, no matter how powerful they are. Even Stalin died, and when he died it was pathetic. He fell over in his bedroom and died. And yes, even Trump will some day die. And a lot of people won't care. Because he was worthless in his life, just like Lockjaw.
Point is: Doesn't matter how much power you have in the end.

It does matter though, because its all about how it is yielded and the legacy it leaves behind. Death can immortalize, be it for a positive or negative stigma.

Really? Does it? Every one dies and when you die, that's it. Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great. Doesn't matter how much you conquer, in the end you really have nothing. Look at Napoleon. He conquered nothing, in the end. Since he lost it all to the armies of the Seventh Coalition. That's not conquering. That's losing everything.

It had shades of Oliver Stone's
U-Turn
for me, in which Penn's reprehensible character is made to suffer big time. In that film, it was more because he was just pitiful and pathetic. In this film, it was more about a political message. The monster had to die at the hands of his own deceptive cabal.
