I used to think that Gul Dukat and Donald Trump were great analogs for each other. But now I realize Trump&#39;s just that belligerent old man on the Bajoran Moon who refused to leave.

@gardiner_bryant@mastodon.online I always think of the old fart as most like the Gorgan acted by Melvin Belli in TOS "The Children Shall Lead."

Trump (real surname of Von Kemp [he's German]) passed away in 2021, and therefore, his posts on social media had been done by a man named Dan Scavino. Scavino is likely using AI to come up with posts like we see nowadays. Scavino was actually Von Kemp's personal caddie before getting into what turned out to be extremely close with Von Kemp, and having access to Von Kemp's socials (one of few people, other than the late Von Kemp himself).

@gardiner_bryant@mastodon.online At least Gul Dukat has some *sort of* redeemable qualities by the end of the series. Or at least, he's an excellently made character even if he does bad things. Trump is just awful no matter what angle.
