So, which of these four fictional characters and one real villain more like Trump?

Or someone else, perhaps?

Why Hitler?

There were other notable people  in the past.

Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Pol Pot, Stalin, Osama Bin Laden, Mao, Beria, Muhammad, just to name a few.

Mainly because he's compared to Hitler more than most other historical figures. Just like some people compare him to Jesus.

Which one of the one's you mentioned would you say he is closer to?

I would probably go with Stalin, Putin (or Kim Un) or one of the other Soviet/Russian/Communist "Cult of Personality" figures than Hitler.

There's definitely a Lannister vibe.  Almost universally despised, yet wealth and the Lannister name are apparently good enough to secure power.  He's not a good fit for Joffrey, but I could see Trump a long-lost uncle or something.

Trump's petulance, vindictiveness, narcissism and thin skin remind me of Joffrey and Kylo Ren.

I think Chump's a completely new thing, to whom future corporate politicians will be compared. He seems to be a mix of all those in your list.
