Great story and all, but this piece is obviously written as an attack on Trump for things he didn't do, and failures that never happened to him.

When will the media get that this doesn't work?

What makes you think this is "obviously [an] attack" rather than just a cautionary tale? I certainly found it helpful to learn about a historic leader with strong similarities to Trump even though most of the left-leaning media portray him as something entirely new.
I suspect it was written to be sold. Not so much to influence.

It was an entertaining read and likely to get lots of clicks.

Two times in one day I read the term doofus which I don't remember having encountered before. Is this word just trending recently or was it always frequently been used before?

> just trending recently

No. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=d...

But I know where you're coming from. I have the same deja-vu experience quite often, where I run across some word or topic on multiple (independent) occasions within one day without ever having heard it before. I guess our brains are just biased to notice such situations, whereas encountering a novel word/thing/concept only once occurs too often and thus is boring on its own.
