An American Berlusconi

Could Donald Trump be the American Berlusconi? Silvio Berlusconi governed Italy relatively successfully for the better part of ten years stretched over three non-consecutive terms. Berlusconi was considered on the right in Italian politics. Trump is now billing himself as a conservative to woo Republican primary voters. Trump and Berlusconi are both undeniably wealthy. Trump gained his wealth largely through real estate while the Italian premier had a media empire he had created that helped his rise to power. Berlusconi did better for Italy than those who followed as prime minister. America can do better than Trump in the White House, but none of the Democrats currently seeking their party's nomination are as capable as Trump.
