President-elect Donald Trump is being compared to another moneyed New Yorker who took on the status quo in Washington – Rough Rider and progressive leader Teddy Roosevelt, although there are plenty of cracks in the analogy.
'I think Donald Trump sees himself larger than life,' former House Speaker John Boehner said in a radio interview with WCPO in Cincinnati.
'He kind of reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt, another guy who saw himself larger than life,' Boehner said.
'You look at what Teddy Roosevelt did, he came in to do big things,' Boehner continued, adding: 'Donald Trump isn't there to kind of trim around the edges and occupy the White House.'
