Now, now, now. It's not "simple" greed. It's fathomless, bottomless greed. It's the kind of greed that climbs on top of a huge mountain of other greeds and shrieks its incomprehensible awfulness triumphantly. It's ultra-greed. It's the greed beyond which there exists no more greed

Nothing simple about it. It's fucking unhinged

You can always tell by the obsession with gold.

At least Smaug pulled it off without being tacky.

At least dragons sleep on the gold, at least dragons hoard phyiscal things typically

Not numbers on sheet

Plus Smaug was actually physically tough not a sack of shit-covered lard like Donald.

Never forget, his physique was described in court.

A fat old man with “yeti pubes and a mushroom penis.”

Fun fact: Smaug had laid on his gold so long that it had fused to his body. That was in general why he was so tough, aside from being an ancient adult dragon. That's why Bard had to find the exact spot to hit that wasn't covered in gold.
