Donald Trump: Sauron or Gollum? By Thanos Kalamidas
If Trump was a character in Tolkien’s universe, would he more closely resemble Sauron, the Dark Lord, or Gollum, the twisted creature corrupted by his obsession with power?

@thanoskalamidas
I think he is closer to Saruman, doing the bidding of some larger force and "'building an army" of mindless brutes to force his will. Sauron, to my mind, is Putin.
@EileenKCarpenter @MPCavalier @thanoskalamidas I was gonna go Balrog, for blowing smoke and setting everything on fire while whipping his base up.
@sfleetucker @MPCavalier @thanoskalamidas
Yeah, Balrog is also, "Get the fuck out of my country, dudes," even if he ends up destroying himself instead.
@MPCavalier @thanoskalamidas
I'd say Wormtongue, the way he's gotten into old men's brains.
