(I disagree,trump probably resembles a latter days roman emperor) http://mashable.com/2017/01/24/dystopia-trump-1984/#.dddoMr2yqqu

 

Trump's face is superimposed on an image from the 1984 film. 'Ingsoc' is the reality-denying ideology of Orwell's world.

Trump's face is superimposed on an image from the 1984 film. 'Ingsoc' is the reality-denying ideology of Orwell's world.

"....Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway's use of the phrase "alternative facts" is a perfect example of doublethink. She and millions of Trump supporters evidently have the ability "to forget whatever it was necessary to forget," as Orwell wrote, to "consciously induce unconsciousness." 

As you may remember, the book predicts three global superstates: Oceania (basically the west), Eurasia (basically Russia) and Eastasia (basically China). Oceania frequently changed which one it was at war with, then denied the change. In our completely different world, Trump loudly proclaims friendship with Russia while one of his cabinet picks says Russia is guilty of war crimes

And let's not even get started on Trump's proclamation declaring a National Day of Patriotic Devotion. The monolithic Party that governs Oceania would be hella proud of that one. 

The Orwellian echoes are apparently traveling far and wide: Sales of Nineteen Eighty-Four have skyrocketed. At time of writing, it is in pole position on the Amazon bestseller list. ..."
