[Goanet] Trump, a non-saffron Bal Thackeray?

[Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا]

He was a master of the art of the outrage, of politics as performance. He
would castigate his opponents as “vampires,” “a sack of flour” and various
untranslatable epithets like calling South Indians “yandu-gundus.”
Periodically, he would express admiration for Hitler, immediately
attracting thousands of news pages of free publicity. He regularly called
for books and films that he felt were antithetical to Hindu values to be
banned. Egged on by his invective, his legions would go out and beat up
artists and journalists.
