Again, I think that is right for many of the "intellectually accomplished" since so many of them also have a moral compass of some kind. But to take it back to Game of Thrones, there are a lot of "folks" that would make mincemeat, figuratively and probably literally, of him, all of which I'd put money on above trump. I would include Tyrion, Cersei, Littlefinger, Varys, the all grown up Sansa (at the end of the series), and my favorite, Olenna (played by the wonderful Diana Rigg).

I disagree. I think that Trump would do wonderfully in a position of power in Westeros. He's incredibly adept at sizing up his opponent's weaknesses and failures, engineering situations where he has dominance and the upper hand in his relationships, sussing out whether people can be subordinated to the point of true loyalty or whether they need to be kept at a distance, and making sure that he doesn't expose himself to reprisals or counter measures. Those folks all know how to use power, especially over other people, in a battle of wits - and that's something that Trump is amazing at. A huge part of Trump's second term is him recognizing that the power of the Presidency is actually very different than how past Presidents have normally used it, something very reminiscent of Varys' "power is where people think it resides" speech to Tyrion.

It's the very specific sort of intellectual exercise that someone like Trump is made for.
