Donald Trump and Boris Johnson ideological partners cartoon

During Republican primaries Donald Trump used inflammatory rhetoric to stand out, which Boris Johnson aped in the run up to the EU referendum.

Donald Trump and Boris Johsnon both use populist hard right rhetoric to engage the disenfranchised working classes when in reality they both come from highly privileged backgrounds that has meant they have never had to suffer the hardships those they now manipulate for their own ends, have to often every day of their lives.

The cynical manipulation of for personal ambition is a dangerous game, a fact that will not have escaped either man. But their absolute belief in their own personal divine right to rule over us supercedes all other concernes as their attempt to steamrolle their way to power, leaving a train wreck of social destruction in their wakes.
