Letter to the I: Trump and the Queen

With regards to Janet Street Porter insinuating that US President Donald Trump and the Queen do not have much in common, I beg to differ since they share many similarities.  Both of them earned and retain their positions through calls to archaic forms of nationalism.  Both of them live in their own privileged lives and are mostly cut off from reality.  Both of them have earned their privilege by dishonest means.  Both of them are surrounded by advisers and colleagues who are essentially 'yes' men, there to enhance their egos and cults of personality.  However they have one crucial difference.  Trump's career is answerable to a democratic mandate.
