Everyone needs an asshole; you couldn't survive without one. But nobody needs Trump. The best word for him would be one describing something both odious and completely useless. Even "shit" doesn't work because manure is useful. All creatures, even icky, creepy ones - and even parasites - have a purpose within an ecosystem. Maybe the perfect word is just trump. A trump is a being that has no purpose, no use, no reason to exist, and creates only chaos and destruction.
