Gollum J. Trump Twitter account satirizes President

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 President 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 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.”
