3. Donald Trump is ALREADY the worst human being of the 21st Century.

The bastards of the 20th Century are in his sights for the all-time title of world's biggest human douchebag.

4. Arnold if you're limiting the comparison to US traitors, but TFG is more like this guy:

What he's done relates him more closely to Vidkun Quisling than to Arnold. Arnold's motivation seems to been partly financial (profiteering) and partly due to his resentment of several rival and younger generals who had been promoted ahead of him and given honors which he thought he deserved. Arnold was more like the spy Robert Hanssen, the arrogant prick of an FBI agent who sold classified information to the Soviet Union for more than $1 million over 20 years.

Trump is much more like Quisling, whose name has also become synonymous with traitor. Quisling was a Norwegian government official who led his country's Nazi party, and was appointed by Hitler as Norway's puppet prime minister and leader of a collaborationist regime for the duration of the occupation. The use of his name as a term for collaborators or traitors probably started with Quisling's unsuccessful 1940 coup d'état, when he first attempted to seize power and make Norway stop resisting the invading Germans.

Likewise, Trump, who is a tool of Putin just as Quisling was a tool of Hitler, attempted a coup d'etat on 1/6 but was unsuccessful. Had he been re-elected in 2020 or if his coup had succeeded, he would have been the leader of a collaborationist regime with Putin calling the shots. The only difference is that Putin wouldn't have to invade or occupy the US with Trump in charge.

He doth protest too much.

He said that to Hillary.

5. He is Been-A-Dick Donald!!!

And will always be. Makes him feel better about his mushroom, thinking his whole giant fat ass body is the dick. The mushroom is probably as flaccid as his bloated flabby torso.

(Still a traitor, of course.)
