Explain how they are alike then please, for the unenlightened amongst us.
Apart from the lies and incompetence (something they have in common with many politicians)
I didn't say they were alike, simply that their respective political opponents don't seem able to understand them and how best to react to them.
For me both Trump and Boris are alike in one respect that they display a certain degree of narcissism, but both react in different ways, attacks on them as individuals are pointless they feel no such pain, quite often turning it to their advantage "you keep throwing the ball and I'll keep hitting it", sort of thing. Both men although in leadership position are constantly in
campaign mode, constantly appealing to their base support, but their opponents keep trying to hit them with what amounts to
sling-shots which even if they land have no effect on their devotees. Opponents wait for a reaction when they perceived they've scored a hit, but it comes only from those who totally oppose Trump or Boris, sort of preaching to the converted sort of thing. You see this quite often on this thread, which becomes an anti Boris echo chamber half the time.
Even though the opposition in the Hoc now seems to getting its Act together, you get the distinct impression Boris (and Cummings) are smiling, albeit behind the tears, we shall have to wait and see!
