Now I have to question... If Trump is the God Emperor....   Is the golden throne a toilet?  I mean, everything else in his penthouse is gold leaf...
More important, who puts him on the throne? Who's his Horus?

throw a dart at the list of all the staffers and aides who've had massive fallings out with him and been dismissed.

Maybe some of the people who sold him out to Mueller

If I had to pick, and knowing very little about WH40K lore and whoever this Horus guy is, I'd have to say Bannon. Though theres stuff I've heard of that Horus supposedly betrayed the God Emperor (what's he referred to as? I forget or don't know and he probably has a name in the WH40K universe) at some point and theres Horus heresies or something, so, it'd have to be someone who betrayed Trump at some point.

He's just referred to as Emperor or the big E for short. Bannon doesn't quite fit as Horus isn't just one of big E's colleagues, he's one of his sons. To really get the fit he'd have to get Horused by one of his progeny, or a protege whose career he created. Like in 2020 Eric Trump announces he's running as a DNC candidate

'a protege whose career he created' could be Pence if he runs for President and succeeds, but I'm not sure I see him backstabbing Trump. Sure, he's shrewd enough to know that survival (or at least not having Trump make his life miserable, which is all Trump can do to him) depends on praying to the golden idol that is Trump, but I can't tell if he has the balls/guts/whatever to backstab Trump in some way or if he'd still kiss ass just as much.

Cohen, then, at least in Trump's view.

Trump is more like Lorgar, really. Pence is Erebus.

Lorgar is way too calm, sophisticated and coherent to be compared to Trump. There's more similarity with Perturabo, being crass and fond of walls

The only Erebus I know of is another name for Tartarus.

I have no clue with this WH40K lore.

Outside in the middle of a snowstorm probably isn’t the best place to do that. Though the article has her boasting about it being not all that cold, so, maybe it’s something normal for Minnesotans, heh.

Maybe Klobuchar and Trump shouldn’t see who can endure that frigid weather the longest, heh.

Basically Perturabo is an extremely petty man with a terribly good memory for grudges, who devotes inordinate sums of resources to getting back at people for slights they've done him. With the diplomatic tact of a skunk in panic, a fondness for building walls, Pert seems the best parallel for a man who ran for President to get back at someone who roasted him at a dinner

Another hat tossed into the ring today. This one covered in sno!
Klobuchar's campaign is on life-support the moment it was born, thanks to a number of reports that she was absolutely hellish on her Senate staffers.

Links to said number of reports? 'absolutely hellish' could mean a whole range of things.

edit: Found some. Sounds like she could be the female version of LBJ who I've heard was notoriously mean, or maybe the American version of Margaret Thatcher, if the nickname Iron Lady is anything to go by.. It also sounds like there are conflicting reports and some are blaming (rightly or wrongly) sexism. If it's all accurate, she definetly wouldn't be the first candidate to rule their staff with an iron fist. Things like this get weeded out during the primaries, which is what they're for.

Yeah. Which isn't necessarily a bar to voting for her (though women still have to contend that the same qualities that would make a man a "hard-nosed, tough fighter" are summarized in a woman as "bitch"), but it's gonna make it way tougher to attract and retain good campaign staff. And you don't get far in the game without a good campaign staff (unless your name is Donald J. Trump).
