So, I just read that piece in the Times about Trump and his butler.
nytimes.com

My first thought was, “When was the last time a presidential candidate in the USA had a butler?”

Reaching the end of the article, my thought was, “I think I read about these kind of people in The Great Gatsby, or maybe the Forsythe Saga.” The bits about Trump Sr. telling a staff member to crawl on the gravel to find a penny — “his eyes were incredible!” — and Trump Jr. handing $100 bills to the Hispanic groundskeepers — “they love him.” — were just so over-the-top rich-people behavior that they sounded like fiction. But they aren’t. I have no doubt that Trump acts every bit like the rich, selfish aristocrats depicted in British novels and in Gatsby.

Alouette is right, Trump is the new Sun King.

Tom Buchanan. He is every rich prick you have ever hated.
