Brumar, this isn't the first time that Trump has been compared to pop-culture anti-heroes like Tony Soprano and Walter White.

In fact, if you go back to January of 2017, the comparison was already made by The Federalist:

Donald Trump Is The First President To Turn Postmodernism Against Itself (The Federalist)
If politics flows downwards from culture, then it was only a matter of time before a politician mastered the role. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump cracked that code. Tony Soprano, Walter White, and Frank Underwood are just a few recent examples of the enormously popular characters who have, each in their own way, stood in for the role of the complicated bad guy who fascinates millions of Americans.
Unfortunately for the Trump supporters, every single anti-hero in pop culture ends up going down in a blaze of glory.

Trump will be no different. The only thing he's good at is playing a role, which just happened to be what 49% of the public was looking for.
