While Trump would make a great cartoon character (imagine him doing battle with the Roadrunner or Bugs Bunny), the actual person he reminds me of most is George Steinbrenner. In fact, the points of connection are almost eerie. Consider the following:
Steinbrenner vs. Trump
Billionaire blowhard Yes Yes
Inherited wealth Yes Yes
Ties to GOP Campaign contributions Populist campaign
Ties to New York Owned the Yankees Built high rises
TV show character Seinfeld The Apprentice
Famous for firing Billy Martin Omarosa
And the winner is. . . George Steinbrenner. He has seven World Series wins, Derek Jeter, and Mariano Rivera as part of his legacy. That beats buildings and golf courses.
