But one thing folks should know: he isn't anything like Trump.
1. He was a King's scholar at Eton, meaning he is actually very smart.
2. He's a prolific reader and professional writer, meaning he thinks and communicates like a thoughtful, well-read person.
Nevertheless, he is vain and disloyal, so has plenty of opponents who reasonably think his character is deeply flawed.
