Trump Is

Trump is Rorschach from The Watchmen, an unhinged sociopath shouting at his fellow inmates (i.e. the GOP) "You don't get it, do you! I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me!"

Trump is whom Cristopher Walken shakes hands with in The Dead Zone, then realizes he has a moral obligation to assassinate to prevent nuclear war.

Trump is the prologue to a bad YA dystopic novel.

Trump is the villain in a hackneyed, ghost-written first novel by some minor ex-Daily Show correspondent, one that receives middling reviews that describe it as "too cartoonishly outlandish to be believable," and "tries way too hard to nail the zeitgeist" through its "rather tiresome, predictable, far-too-on-the-nose critique of 'Reality TV' culture."

Trump is who just barely lost election at the start of that one Ray Bradbury story, when a time travel safari heads back to the Jurassic to kill a T. Rex; but then the rich client loses his nerve, steps off the path and squashes a butterfly. They return to the present to find history changed and Trump elected. The client falls to his knees, crying, "it was only a butterfly, a butterfly!..." while the safari leader points his rifle at the client's head, and

A Sound of Thunder.
