Vis a vis Trump, comparisons of this sort are effectively meaningless. He doesn’t actually have any real policy principles that he stands by other than maximizing the amount of money he can gather, staying out of jail, and acting like a mafia don. Dude’s a straight fascist, amongst many other terrible things. Juxtaposing him with serious politicians in this fashion is essentially sanewashing him. It’s disingenuous, and actively harmful to our electoral process and democracy, to not call a fascist a fascist.
and lets not forget the endless lying. any policy he has now can be thrown out on a whim or if he sees any gain to changing it. It will only stay if it provides him significant value which most won’t have any value if he gets elected.
