So you are comparing the POtuS with a Congresswoman-elect?
Let me know when she has an army of followers advocating violence against press, making millions off the Government, lying 10 times a day, coddling dictators, excusing beheadings, etc.
My comparison of Trump to Ocasio-Cortez (they're both buffoons) wasn't the primary comparison. The primary comparison was of the lemmings who mindlessly rally to their causes and lap up their ignorance as fact.
Trump's coddling of dictators and excusing beheadings is a case study in hypocrisy. Republicans were critical of Obama when he coddled the Saudis while Democrats excused it. Now Democrats are critical of Trump when he coddles the Saudis while Republicans excuse it. Did the sides just exchange playbooks after the election?
Trump takes buffoonery, bombast and stirring up the base to an entirely new level but it appears that Ocasio-Cortez has similar potential.
