Donald Trump: The new Rob Ford

Ever since Donald Trump began surging in polls in the race for the Republican nominee for president, the Toronto media has compared his rise to that of former Toronto mayor Rob Ford. The comparison is allowing the Ford haters, of which are many in the media, to say that Trump's appeal is the same as Ford's. While some of them "get it," many have no idea what attracts ordinary people to Ford and Trump and using Trump as an excuse to take another shot at Ford who is no longer mayor. For example, Boom 97.3 which is apparently a Toronto FM radio station, posted a picture saying, "Dear U.S.A., We feel your pain Sincerely, Toronto." as if they speak for the entire city that gave Ford an overwhelming victory in the 2010 mayor's race. Juvenile. They probably couldn't care less about Trump: just using him as an excuse to bash the former mayor once again.
