Trump is an ancestor of the Ferengi

[SCVDem]

Similarities?

Both Trump and the Ferengi are orange.

Both have books. The Art of the Deal and The Rules of Acquisition.

Both would do anything for a profit and are small minded hateful creatures.

Finally, Trump looks like the Grand Nagus.

Evolution?

[Takket]

1. Ferengi are basically modeled after the GOP. Money obcessed mysonginists

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

2. Please don't insult the Ferengi. n/t

[Pope George Ringo II]

3. My vote is Pakled.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Definitely a hybrid, but more Pakled for sure

[Ohiya]

4. The ferengi are much more attractive.

[TomSlick]

5. Trump ignores the 60th Law of Acquisition.

"Keep your lies consistent."

[Girard442]

6. The Ferengi channeled their competiveness and aggression into economic competition.

They had a highly developed moral code, although not one necessarily attractive to other cultures. As the Ferengi Quark pointed out to Benjamin Sisko on an episode of Deep Space Nine, while Ferengi were doing business deals, Hoo-mans were slaughtering each other by the billions, so who's got the moral high ground there?

7. Trump has had so many bankruptcies

That no smart Ferengi would ever want to try to do business with him.

That said, I think the Ferengi have more economic sense than tax cuts for the rich et al, than the GOP. In their view, that’s like trying to build a dam in the River of the Material Continuum.

8. The Ferengi understand enlightened greed. Trump works on a more primitive level, reptilian.

Lie and cheat with no thought of strategy or consequence.

[SCVDem]

9. That's why I said

he was an ancestor.

Ferengi evolved from his DNA, the greed is genetic.

With Trumps forked tongue, reptilian works.

10. Ferengi are more honest.

[democratisphere]

11. Devolution.

[Bayard]

12. Ferengi have more hair

And better morals.

[MurrayDelph]

13. And all of his locations

are covered in pressed latinum.

[JHB]

15. Wallace Shawn play Donald Trump? Inconceivable!
