I thoroughly enjoyed the LOTR series.

Funny they haven’t compared Trump to Sauron. He’d have to be The Orange, of course, and would use a gold 3-wood as a staff :-)

The One Ring could not be tamed, but must be utterly destroyed at the very source of its creation: Mount Doom. And in Middle-earth it is the least-likely people, hobbits and dwarves ... Frodo, Samwise, Thorin and company ... that accept the quest to do so Not to be picky, but Thorin lived and died without knowing of the ring. He was on a quest with Bilbo to kill a dragon. The ring was found by Bilbo on that quest, but kept hidden. The ring was destroyed on a later quest by Frodo and Sam.

The quests are mixed up here. Thorin and company were on a quest to regain his kingdom under the mountain in The Hobbit.
Frodo, Sam and the other 7 including the dwarf Gimli son if Gloin were on the quest to destroy the ring.
Tolkein adamantly argued that his work not be used as allegory, which seems exactly what this article did.
