I revisit this idea every once in awhile just for fun. But as of right now, there are strong arguments for and against Trump being The Foundation’s fictional Mule.
For
The case could be made that the Constitution is The Plan of the Foundation universe and Trump, as The Mule, is outside the confines of that Plan and, as such, is The Mule in real life. Trump and The Mule seemingly have the ability to get people do shit for them for no apparent reason.
Against
The case could also be made that Trump IS NOT The Mule because on a macro level it would be easy to predict that someone like Trump was inevitable as the USA contracted and declined.
So, I dunno. Take your pick, I guess.
