"I've Seen This Movie Before"

"A press corps obsessed with a complicated judicial investigation. A millionaire television personality turned politician who casts himself as under attack by the courts. A party beholden to that leader, and a base that will stand by him—aware of his deep flaws and his penchant for stretching the truth. A political opposition so divided, it can't easily form a coherent argument for what it stands for, only for what it stands against."

Rachel Donadio at The Atlantic writes that that Silvio Berlusconi "Was Trump Before Trump."
