That's exactly how I see him - not many people know history, sadly, but Trump is the Teddy of our time. Teddy was literally hated by the msm of his time. He wrote a famous reply to his critics in the msm: "it's not the critic that counts, it's not the person who points out how the strong man strumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better; the credit belongs to the man who is in the arena, and who - at worst - if he fails, he at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." This is a redacted, imperfect version (my memory) but the tone is spot on Teddy R. It's also spot on The Donald. Two peas in a pod are P-Teddy and P-Trump.
