I would think more like George Wallace, Joe McCarthy, Huey Long, or Juan Peron... Very unpalatable characters to be sure, and especially shocking if one of them had gotten to be President of the US.... Peace...
I don't think he's a fascist, but he's closer to fascism than anything in American presidential history, since the 19th center or perhaps ever. Not a fascist, but in the American context this is still saying a lot.
Juan, I know this will be a bit of an oversimplification, but I think the relation is less parallelism and more cause-and-effect. The Arab Spring helped bring on the Syrian uprising and ISIS and civil wars and mass migration to Europe and ISIS-"inspired" terror in Europe and to a small extent in the US (almost always unrelated, but fear has related them in the public mind). The bottom line: My guess is that without the Arab Spring there would be neither Brexit or Trump. In fact I just can't imagine our having either without the Arab Spring having happened. Cheers and peace and thanks as always...
I'm not so sure, Juan. Not many presidents or cabinet officers were generals. Ike was a fine president, and the best cabinet officer in George W. Bush's administration was Colin Powell. Meanwhile in Israel the security establishment and generals seem to be much better than their ideologically extremist civilian government. Just thinking out loud my friend and all peace..
Juan, with all respect to you really think without 2 years of Wikileaks its pseudo-email-gate that Clinton, who would win the popular vote by 2.5 million votes, wouldn't have won the election too? Peace...

Juan terrible. Also at first I thought you meant terrorist Donald Trump.

It will live in my heart like Bowling Green... forever.
