God no. He's rather opposite in many areas.

How is this a historical question?

Doesn't he remind you of Theodore Roosevelt?

In what way? You know Roosevelt really was a badass, a warfighter, and a sportsman. He didn't just play one on television.

Yes, it appears that Donald and Teddy shared many of the same passions - such as exploration and big game hunting.

And this is why the Movie & TV Board is such a joke

Mostly New Yorker bluster and attack back mentality

Also...

Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, right or wrong - is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.

ar better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure , than to take rank with those poor spires who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

Donald Trump Interview 1988

As a deputy sheriff, Roosevelt pursued three outlaws who had stolen his riverboat and escaped north up the Little Missouri. He captured them, but decided against a vigilante hanging; instead, he sent his foreman back by boat, and conveyed the thieves to Dickinson for trial. He assumed guard over them for forty hours without sleep, while reading Leo Tolstoy to keep himself awake. When he ran out of his own books, he read a dime store western that one of the thieves was carrying.[45] On another occasion, while searching for a group of relentless horse thieves, Roosevelt met Seth Bullock, the famous sheriff of Deadwood, South Dakota. The two would remain friends for life.
