Former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner sees President-elect Donald Trump as a modern-day Teddy Roosevelt, a populist who wants to do big things.
The Ohio Republican told WCPO.com in Cincinnati that Trump is similar to Roosevelt, the 26th president, because hes another guy who saw himself larger than life. He said Trump doesnt want to just trim around the edges as president.
If you look at what Teddy Roosevelt did, he came in to do big things, Boehner said. I think Donald Trump wants to do big things.

Trump does not drink. Teddy loved to tip the bottle.
Big difference. But then Boehner is such a lush he can’t see beyond the end of his bulbous red nose to see or know the difference.

One cannot tell if they are good things. These are interesting things to say, but Boehner is not offering the true context, just like he never did when making false promises to his electorate.

He collaborated with them.
Goes back to the New Republicanism as outlined by Arthur Larson in a book called A Republican Looks At His Party, which states things like if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government among other statist claims.

No one said Trump was God like. If Trump acted liked Boner most would complain about him too. In this case Boehner is right.
