Horcrux: an object in which a dark wizard or witch can hide a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of immortality by means of murder
Ok, so Donald Trump is not a dark wizard(.. or is he?) And he hasn’t physically killed anyone to split his soul (or has he?) But his soul does reside in every building, resort, casino, and network that has his name on it. They preserve his memory, his deeds, and his essences. Let’s not forget this election that will put the Trump name in the history books.
How are any of these a horcrux? A horcrux is made to make someone immortal. While Trump may physically die, his name and brand will live forever. Like Tom Riddle’s diary, everything that has the Trump name will preserve his memory. Sure it won’t come alive and try to kill an 11 year old girl, but memories are dangerous. Trump has brought out the worst kinds of people as some of his supporters. As long as his memory is alive, these people will believe they are justified in what they do.
Voldemort’s horcruxs were made to allow him to return from the dead. Trump won’t come back once he has died, but he can ensure that people remember him. He can also ensure that his ideas and beliefs stay behind to influence others. Trump has been compared to Voldemort in many ways but not yet this one. To defeat Voldemort, the horcruxs had to be destroyed one by one. We must do the same for Trump.
