McSweeney's haben Trump neulich mit einem von Lovecrafts Göttern, namentlich Nyarlathotep, verglichen. Und hey, da ist schon was dran:

[...] he wanders the Earth, seemingly gathering legions of followers, the narrator of the story among them, through his demonstrations of strange and seemingly magical instruments. These followers lose awareness of the world around them, and through the narrator's increasingly unreliable accounts, the reader gets an impression of the world's collapse.
