    I tried to locate Trump in the LOTR universe...

    We already establsihed that Putin is Sauron. But I'm having trouble with Donnie somehow. First I thought he'd be Saruman, as he's in bed with Sauron (hehe).

    However, even if there are parallels it still somehow feels off. Maybe LOTR is the wrong universe, and we should think of him more as being Daenerys Targaryen?

    Y'know, after she turned fully evil that is. The whole "breaking the wheel" looks pretty much like a populist slogan when you dragonfire the locals en masse. Just like "make America great again" and "no furrin' warZ" became "make everything more expensive and bomb stuff to make it even more expensive".


    TDR! (the daily rant), end. Also, period.

    Blah

    Gollum maybe except that he'll fail to accidentally save the world at the end by stealing the macguffin from the hero and accidentally killing himself and it together.

      Grima Wormtongue springs to mind.

        Ted Sandyman or Lotho Sackville-Baggins or Bill Ferny if you want a human

        Edit: Lotho seems right on. Wealthy manlet sells out his own people to become more wealthy, while being used by outside forces. You get the stupidity, greed, resentment & devastating success all in one.

          The Lake Town Master is probably the best fit, but he's an extremely minor character.

          Honorable mention: Barliman Butterbur, the racist, xenophobic, fat, and stupid proprietor of the prancing pony.

          Honorable mention 2: Shelob

            From the GoT universe I vote for the fat high septon who gets ripped apart by the mob in book 2.

              Really, no video links?

              One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                Editing a comment
                "are you planning to release the Saruman scrolls" was a nice bit

                Jabba was in that 1977 Dune rip-off not LOTR.
