Donald Trump is a Bizarro Jay Gatsby!

Anyone else look at Donald Trump and see a Bizarro Jay Gatsby come to life?

Gatsby - Born poor
Trump - son of a millionaire

Gatsby - a successful crook
Trump - Four bankruptcies in legitimate business

Gatsby - eager to make a good impression on everyone he meets
Trump - alienating the world one demographic at a time

Gatsby - covers up a lack of schooling with elaborate manners
Trump - expensive private schooling, no class

Gatsby - covets another man’s wife
Trump - brags his wife is the hottest (okay, she IS a former model)

Gatsby - Was an innocent victim of circumstance and misunderstanding
Trump - is both the iceberg and the Titanic at the same time.

Gatsby - devoted his life to regaining the love of one woman that he lost
Trump - just grabs 'em by the p----, 'cause he’s a star.

Can anyone think of any others?

He’s RL Citizen Kane.

Gatsby: Fictional character that we are all very glad has been brought into being.
Trump: Real life character that we fervently wish would disappear.

Pretty sure the opposite of Donald Trump would be a woman who earned a law degree and held elected office before becoming president.

Hah! Good one! :smiley:
