He is not even interesting as a fictional Gillian.

The Republican Party is NOT a political party. It's a white-collar criminal organization. Or as it's more simply and commonly known, organized crime.

I think that is a very naive way to see him and it could possibly hurt us down the line. Trump may not be as smart as Dexter, but he is definitely not as dumb as Llyod Christmas either. He is a manipulative psychopath that would like nothing more than for everyone to bow down to him and his regressive beliefs.
