This is like the "second time as farce" version of Trotsky publishing all the major powers secret agreements regarding WW1

If trump is Trotsky, then who is Stalin?

Hmmm, maybe the farce continues and we just don't get a Stalin this time? Idk, I don't want to insult Stalin by comparing him to any living western politician

Could also be we're in the mirror-world timeline and Hillary was the liberal Stalin, but instead she's the one getting icepicked in Mexico. She did go on to make a bunch of "documentaries" (reality TV) which is the modern worlds version of a newspaper.
Obama could also be Stalin.
Also fits with Trump being Trotsky since he's the one who has made the most reality TV

We're not fortunate enough to have a Stalin this time.

Surprised no one has made the Putin comparison.

Not arguing that he's a Leninist but in terms of building industrial and national might over decades under constant attack from the West, Putin:

Rebuilt the RF from the "shock therapy" of the 90s into a true sovereign great power. Brought the oligarchs under the control of the state and out of politics. Rebuilt the partnership with the Chinese. Western defeat in Ukraine is now a fait accompli, Russia will get all of their "maximalist demands" and more. They will likely reclaim all three of the Black Sea jewels founded by Catherine the Great. Very world-historical-figure to me
