Charlatan Trump, meet former S. Vietnam leader, Charlatan Ky.
If you saw the PBS/Ken Burns program Vietnam, Episode 4 "Resolve," last night, you would have been stunned to see one of the people interviewed call the South Vietnam leader a charlatan. Then as he proceeded, you would have recognized the description of Ky as the exact description of our dear leader, Charlatan Trump.
Check out this snip form Wikipedia:
he gained notoriety for his flamboyant manner, womanizing, and risky and brash behavior, which deeply concerned South Vietnam's American allies and angered the Vietnamese public, who regarded him as a “cowboy” and a “hooligan". He cared little for public relations, and on occasions, publicly threatened to kill dissidents and opponents as well as to flatten parts of North Vietnam and South Vietnamese units led by rival officers with bombings, although none of this materialized. However, a public threat to rig elections, if necessary, was fulfilled
"His favored tactic in such situations was to send fighter jets into the air and threaten large-scale air strikes, and given his reputation for impetuosity, he usually attained the desired backdown."

The gentleman in the interview added that he was a stranger in his own country. It's odd that America still tolerates our charlatan and prolific liar president Trump.
