What Star Trek Episode Reminds you most of Bush?
Advertisements [?]
To me he is Trelane, The Squire of Gothos the juvenile junior Organian who creates whatever illusion suits him in order to toy with people's lives.



"Trelane seems to be a dizzy, foppish aristocrat from Earth's distant past. He possesses almost god-like powers and does not register on the crew's tricorders. Trelane is fascinated with Earth's martial past and intends to bring the Enterprise's entire crew to the surface of Gothos, presumably to become his subjects. Kirk rejects Trelane's arrogance but finds himself at a loss to combat his power. Finally, Spock concludes that the Squire is aided by some sort of mechanical device, which he believes is concealed in a mirror. Kirk draws Trelane into mock combat and destroys the mirror, causing chaos. The landing party escapes back to the Enterprise and blasts into space to get "a hundred million light years from that madman," as Kirk says. But Trelane's power is not to be denied. He now focuses his vengeance on Kirk and once again brings him to Gothos, there to hang by the neck until he is "dead, dead, dead!" How can Kirk outwit this childish but incredibly dangerous being?"
