The Washington Post has an interesting article on the [eerie similarities between Trump and Berlusconi](https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/09/21/donald-trump-is-americas-silvio-berlusconi/) .

The most important lesson: don’t be fooled by Trumps buffoonery. He WILL be elected. And while that won’t be a big disaster for the country, it won’t be good for anyone, either.
