Dickensian character????
Trump lives in London and has a British accent?
Nah, he'd be Zephaniah Scadder in Martin Chuzzlewit, an American agent who sells a malarial swamp development called Eden to young Martin Chuzzlewit. He takes pleasure in getting the better of the British rubes. (Eden is thought to be Cairo, Illinois, which Dickens saw)

That's a reach, but I doubt that sly has ever heard, let alone read Martin Chuzzlewitt; but I have. :-)
Dickens LOVED that Americans loved his works and bought his books, but he looked down on them and didn't like them much.
