Instead of threatening with nuclear weapons, Cheeto would call people vile names and make fun of them to hurt their feelings.

But you're right, of course -- he's closer to a Bond villain. Though not nearly as intelligent.

Fleming would have considered Trump a buffoon, beneath contempt.

He doesn't have what it takes to be an actual antagonist. That requires attributes like patience, planning, and a modicum of self-discipline.

If we're offering up funny parody names, here are a few of mine:
Pussyraker
Ivana Gropalot
Egofinger

The writers modeled Biff Tannen after DT. That scene where a 1955 Biff just walks up to Marty's teenage mom-to-be on the street, lifts her dress and take a look is, in light of recent revelations, so eerily prescient.

Grinning down on the hero being held by others, only to be impaled on some doomsday machine part in the big finale.

The 007 version of "hoist on his own petard", Pence will forever be tied to Trump's failure.
