Why are so many people saying Pike is The 100's version of Donald Trump?

I can totally understand why Pike is acting the way he is. A bunch of brutal warriors slaughtered his people, including children, right before his eyes. He can't view Grounders individually because he hasn't really met any other Grounders. Pike never really knew what Lincoln did for the Sky People, and only knew Lincoln as the Grounder who caused a brief crowd riot and stood against him. Pike just doesn't want anymore of his people to die. He's already watched enough of them die and all he wants is for it to stop. Really, if you saw a bunch of savage warriors kill little kids, would you immediately trust their allies just because some of your people trust them? I know I wouldn't. Pike's actions aren't to be excused, but at least I can understand them.

As far as I'm aware, Trump has zero reason for the way he's acting. He's just being a racist asshole when I'm pretty sure he personally never had a bad experience with the groups of people he's discriminating against. Also, he seems like he's just in the election for himself and not for the good of everyone else. I really don't want to get too into politics, though, but it's very untrue for people to compare the two.
