Donald Trump has compared Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to former Argentine first lady Eva Perón, according to a report on a new book about the president’s rise in a fractured Republican Party.
The forthcoming book contains a claim by Trump that he first noticed the liberal firebrand from the Bronx while watching TV, and that she was “ranting and raving like a lunatic on a street corner,” according to a report by the Guardian newspaper about “American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump.”
