He is also a chickenshit, so at least two of the descriptions don't fit.

The Terminator, though a true movie villain, deserves more respect than to be compared to Trump.

My concern with your comparison was that even though the Terminator was on the "evil" side, they were pretty bad ass. Trump is stupid, corrupt, and cowardly. Trump is more like Francis Buxton from Pee Wee's Bid Adventure.

Hence the Walter Reid visit yesterday.

His angry temper tantrums are, at their source, deep terror.

Otherwise, he is a movie villain. Only problem is, most movie villains have some marginally interesting and redeeming qualities - which The Orange One does not.

'Some men arent looking for anything rational...they just want to watch the world burn.'

'How did you catch him?'

'We burned the forest down.'



Seems to summarize rather nicely what needs to happen to the current incarnation of the Republican Party. Let's burn this crop of miscreants from the Congress, and empower a Democratic Majority to drag this country (kicking and screaming, if we must...FINALLY), into the goddamn 21 Century.
