If anything I see Trump's rise as representing a populist backlash to the very moral greyness you talk about
: offering black and white solutions to what his political opponents occupying the centre-ground would probably consider inherently grey problems (and which therefore require inherently grey solutions). If Trump is the equivalent of any comic character it's probably Judge Dredd, for whom any kind of moral uncertainty/greyness is an absolute anathema. Equally, rather than the doubt-ridden Tony Soprano, I suspect most Trump supporters were looking for the cold black v white morality of someone like Dirty Harry.
