"His speaking voice, a gruff husky tenor, added to the impression of fractiousness." Page 10

Donald Trumps American dream is to be successful and better then people in general. Many people describe him as arrogant and full of himself which is sort of like the books interpretation of Tom.

“I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
