It's very interesting indeed, given how both Trump and AMLO are extremely populist. Both have dictatorial aspirations but are exceedingly inept to succeed at them. Also, both president's followers think they are supreme, uncorruptible, messiah-like beings who will magically change everything, and would follow them to their deaths.

Needless to say, after push comes to shove migrants still abound in the US and americans are still losing their jobs (the two main concerns of Trump); plus there are more deaths to violence than ever before in Mexico, and the country is just as corrupt as always.

So yeah, calling the opposition trumpist-like is interesting and I've never heard that before.
