My brain is having some trouble wrapping itself around the task of talking about our new President. In this thread, which is not only a game but also a sort of public service to the opposition, I invite you to help people like me. Name, if you can, figures from world history and culture, including fictional characters, who have in a sense contributed something to who Trump is.
I shall start us off by mentioning Grendel.

I wonder if he is a bit like HAL, from 2001.
"Open the borders please, Donald"
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
