time: Every time Donald Trump opens his mouth, or every time a poll shows him holding or surging after yet another scandalous episode that would have ruined any conventional candidate, you feel it: we've seen this movie before, according to The Toronto Star. There are significant differences between Trump and late Toronto mayor Rob Ford, obviously: Trump is far richer and prone to ostentatious displays of cartoonishly poor taste, while a black Cadillac SUV given to him by his brothers is as show-offy as Ford ever got. By Edward Keenan Columnist Mon., Nov. 7, 2016 Watching helplessly from Toronto as this strange and savage U.S. election campaign unfolds, it near impossible to avoid a sense of déjà vu. Ford had a common touch and genuine love for retail face-to-face constituent service that Trump shows no evidence of even pretending to. And for all the displays of oblivious racism, sexism, and homophobia Ford forced Toronto to endure, he never whipped up open white nationalist racism quite so proudly and transparently as Trump has. Ford suffered very sadly and famously from addiction problems of a kind that are apparently not among Trump long list of vices.
