The problem with comparing Trump to any fictional villain is that nearly every fictional villain, regardless of the quality of the source material, still possesses better work ethic and planning than Donald Trump. Yeah, villains on Power Rangers keep doing the same thing over and over, but they're still crafting and sending out monsters which proves they have better work ethic.

I relate to things via pop culture (Abed from Community is my spirit animal), but when it comes to Trump, any and all references break down. There doesn't seem to be any fictional villain that embodies Trump's particular brand of villainy, where you have malignant narcissism, willful ignorance, rancid bigotry, a complete and utter lack of any natural curiosity, petty cruelty, so thinned-skinned as to be all but translucent, and a pathological indolence that somehow makes all of this so much worse.

Trump is basically a seventy-something Joffrey, but the problem is, even Joffrey still has better work ethic than Trump.

Joffrey still has better work ethic than Trump.

What. No, he doesn't. Unless by work ethic, you mean most of the time he knew enough to get out of his more competent grandfather's way and let him run the country without too much interference.

DA

I don't know who this is but yeah even having the presence of mind to let someone more competent take over means he's a lot better than Trump any day.

It's amazing that fictional characters have more depth and nuance than an actual human being Donald Trump.

I thought of the Joffrey comparison too, especially with how Margaery knew how to manipulate him by playing on his ego, though even then I think he was more sympathetic than 45.

Well, Joffrey is a bit more sympathetic in that he was a teenager, as opposed to Trump who is supposed to be a grown-ass adult in his seventies.
