Only tangentially related I guess, but I've got an article from socialistworker in my rss reader right now drawing a parallel (not as the point of the text, just in passing) between Trump and Berlusconi.Thus, the White House, once dominated by old-money ruling class figures and politicians socialized in the U.S. military, will now be occupied by a rogue billionaire. Trump, despite the comparisons some have made to the Italian fascist ruler Mussolini, more closely resembles Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian media magnate who used his money and populist appeals to impose himself on a corrupt, conservative political establishment.
