    One of the things that concerns me about Trump is that his politicking strategy may be an effective one in an era of social media. If that is true, it may be that other politicians will take it up.

    Trump is done in four years. But having highly-misleading-but-attention-attracting narratives can live on for a very long time, absent a change in the media environment.

        I’m not familiar with Berlusconi’s domestic politics, but I do recall people saying during Trump’s first campaign that he was similar to Berlusconi.
