Many in the press have declared the entrepreneur and political novice “Trump’s heir.” The comparison sells the former President short.
to him as “Trump’s stand-in,” a “Trump surrogate,” and “Trump’s heir.”
So begins a now familiar sequence of events: Ramaswamy’s gleeful trolling got the most attention, which will, in turn, drive more press coverage, which then will lead to better name recognition and a boost in the polls. As long as he’s willing to entertain—and it must be said that Ramaswamy’s provocations were the only lively part of an otherwise boring show—he will be following the Trump playbook for staying in the headlines.
But does any of that really make him Trump’s heir? The comparisons to Trump feel, frankly, a bit disrespectful to the former President. Trump, at his worst , actually inspired fear in his political enemies because he put forth a forceful vision: let the “real people” of this country rise up against the cabal of élite swamp-dwellers who let violent criminals stream over the border.
Menace like that can’t be faked. Ramaswamy might have trolled Pence and Nikki Haley and titillated the pundits, but I did not see one person say that they were afraid of him. Like the rest of the candidates who shared the stage with him, Ramaswamy doesn’t have much of a vision for the country at all. He never misses an opportunity to trot out his list of “,” which include “there are two genders,” “reverse racism is racism,” and “there are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
