I planned to publish this post on Reddit but the admins are cautious about politics.
Thrall = Barack Obama, former President of the United States
- There was a time when everyone believed Bracko was going to save the world when the recession hit and after the Bush admin turmoil.
Sylvanas = Vladimir Putin, President of Russia
- They've been in power for many years. Now they're on top of the world
- Utter fearlessness
Garrosh = Rodrigo Duterte, President of the Philippines
- The most uncanny comparison. They started a war and killed of thousands in the name of progress. Has a loyal following internally but despised by other nations. Garrosh gave Orgrimmar a huge facelift and my country is starting to go mad with projects.
Garrosh = Donald Trump, current President of the United States
- There aren't plenty of similarities, but the dramatic rise and controversies are there.
- Many radical bills have been signed not to mention.
Velen = Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany
- Heroes among refugees. Sometimes being called off as misguided.
Anduin = Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
Arthas = Taylor Swift, Popstar
- At this point it's hard to deny Taylor has risen to become a cultural leader. I love how they gradually transitioned from being goody albeit deceptive role models to being a self-fulfilling villain.
Gallywix = Carl Icahn, Billionaire investor
- Sits on the sidelines yet has strong political influence
Hemet Nesingwary = Elon Musk, Entrepreneur and industrialist
- So good at what they love and are changing the world in every move
As for the rest, I need your help because I'm not very learned in world events. Other famous personalities include:
- Illidan (I was going for Hitler but he never really came back from the dead to save the world)
- Jaina (Hillary Clinton? Theresa May?)
- Sargeras (Kim Jong Un?)
