‘George Santos models himself pretty directly off Trump’ – biographer Mark Chiusano
There is not much doubt about Santos’s political mentor: Donald Trump.
Chiusano continues: “Santos models himself pretty directly off Trump. Trump is this almost sui generis figure who is kind of shaping the Republican party and he himself is the result of all these other political forces outside himself. But Trump is a person who was already famous and already had at least a perception of being very rich and certainly had more resources that Santos did.
