I say Thenardier, with Billy Flynn being a second choice. I thought about one or two others, but decided that they were too smart for him to convincingly portray.

Patrick Bateman is definitely the best one so far - both are great stand-ins for the violent, perpetually-forgiven systems of capitalism. I can't remember if or how it's quoted in the show, but the last paragraph from the book feels chillingly relevant:
"There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."
The main difference is that Trump has killed many more people.

J. Bruce Ismay in Titanic, who didn't listen to the experts when he insisted on increasing the ship's speed, then blamed them when it hit the iceberg.

When I played Farquaad for a second time in 2019, there were multiple lines that we had to stop in rehearsal and say "believe it or not, this isn't a topical Trump reference."
