On Trump vs. George Steinbrenner

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.
