Donald Trump as fictional character? Which one?

Which fictional character is Donald Trump most like?
I'm immediately thinking of Fagan, but there are so many to choose from, and you all are probably very well-read. And I bet you watch cartoons, too.

The ones dressed in nice clothes and standing up in long skinny legs. His face to me is toad-like! He has this long line for a smile sometimes, Fugly!

I cringe looking at him. Visceral. Ugh!

edit: He used this same smile when Palin endorsed him, and instead of looking at her while she was speaking, I looked at him in horror pretty much. Plus he seemed to be rocking & swaying his body, so the effect was complete.

Uriah Heep came to mind, but he is too 'umble. Captain Ahab is the embodiment of hubris, self-agrandizement and single-minded lunacy.

My cousin Mike, who worked on the railroads, and who's judgment is very sound, in my opinion, is certain that the American people will never elect Trump. Myself, I am a bit less sanguine. I lean toward H.L. Mencken's quote, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."

I plan to immerse myself in rerun's of Green Acres until November.

17. 'Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler' from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series

Wikipedia describes him thusly:

Described as Discworld's most enterprisingly unsuccessful entrepreneur, a 'merchant venturer' in Ankh-Morpork, he is most famous for selling meat by-products to unsuspecting souls. His name originates from his catchphrase '... and at that price, I'm cutting me own throat.'

I don't think those notable exceptions are able to post here anymore, though.

I can understand why an event like the RNC convention would cause one to want to post a lot, given what an easy target they are!
