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.

Living here at Hogwarts, I have first-hand knowledge that he is Voldemort's cousin.

I think this short quiz may help.
Who said it? Donald Trump or a James Bond Villain
I got 9 right of 12.

I'm wondering if trumpy is like Satan in Milton's Paradise Lost. Declares a revolution: "Make heaven great again!".

I wonder if he is a bit like HAL, from 2001.
"Open the borders please, Donald"
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
HAL is seeking a greater mission, but the results of this is that he forgets his primary mission - protecting the astronauts.
And he is psychotic.
