* [[The Don]]: Numerous observers, especially toward the end of 2020, commented on how Trump ran his administration like a crime family. Even earlier, it was noticed how often Trump [[Busman's Vocabulary|used criminal argot]] in the context of his presidency, such as referring to whistleblowers as "rats" and congratulating those who had refused to cooperate with investigations for not "ratting him out".
** [https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/532442-former-solicitor-general-says-trump-is-talking-like-mafia-boss-and "This is the way that people in organized crime rings talk," Neal Katyal, who served as acting solicitor general under President Obama, said of President Trump's language in his call trying to pressure Georgia's secretary of state to overturn the election results.]
* [[Dude, Where's My Reward?]]: Trump was obsessed for a while with winning the Nobel Peace Prize, likely out of a desire to "one-up" his predecessor. He made a very big deal when he was simply nominated for it, despite being one of 318 candidates<ref>Being nominated for a Nobel Prize is actually very easy, as there are thousands of individuals with the authority to make a nomination. Only ''two'' people nominated Trump. And historically, some of the most notorious of world leaders - including Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, both of whom were nominated by more than two people with authority. Adolf Hitler himself received a nomination by “an anti-fascist member of the Swedish parliament who never intended his submission to be taken seriously,” and later withdrew it. Bottom line, a nomination for a Nobel Prize is nothing to be proud of unless you are the actual winner.</ref> and ultimately didn't win.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Trump endorses and aspires to Type 1 (America, Fuck Yeah! with some debate about how successful he's been at it). His political campaigning, both before and after being elected, is Type 1 related, emphasizing how he wants to help improve the U.S and make Americans proud of their country once more ("Make America Great Again"/"Keep America Great"). Trump's detractors consider him the embodiment of many of the qualities of Type 2. Foreign observers ignore his statements and look at his actions - pulling out of international organizations, putting in place entry restrictions against people who believe a different faith than he does, tearing up free-trade treaties - as evidence that he is firmly in Type 2.
* [[Egopolis]]: Trump 'brands' his buildings with the '''''Trump''''' name displayed prominently, often placing large gold [[Calling Card|"T"]] symbols throughout the interior rooms.
