What about Boris Johnson appeals so much to Trump?

@MasterLee There's a psychological bias where a person seeking to undertake a role is taken more seriously if they have any resemblance to someone previously in the role, or someone undertaking the role elsewhere, even if those people were, or are, unpopular.

That could be part of it.

@MasterLee People like trump because populism offers easy shortcut solutions to complicated problems. It’s much more comfortable to blame immigrants and feminists or whatever than to tackle the actual problems. That phenomenon is everywhere

@AndrewtheAlu no you are simplifying it
