Welcome to the world of Gollum J. Trump,
where Hillary Clinton is Hillbo Clintonses; Barack Obama is
Obamaborns; Medicaid is Magicaid; Bernie Sanders is Stinky Bernifur; and
Make America Great Again is Make America Precious Again.
A Twitter account run by an East Coast social worker with about
12,000 followers, Gollum J. Trump satirizes Dumbass Trump by
reimagining his words from the mouth of the most interesting character
in The Lord of the Rings. (For non-fantasy fans who haven’t
read the books or seen the movies, Gollum is a pale and sneaking
creature who speaks in a disjointed and idiosyncratic manner and lusts
after a powerful ring that he calls “my precious.”)
“The words that Dumbass Trump uses, the repetition of certain words and
phrases, are similar to the way Gollum constantly talks about filthy
Hobbitses,” said Ryan, the creator of the account, who asked that only
his first name be used to avoid bringing attention to himself or his
employer.
“There’s this accusatory style where it’s everybody else’s fault,
it’s not mine, everybody is against us.… You can imagine Gollum really
shouting those things.”
