Trump is a serial liar, rapist, billionaire who has bankrupted all is businesses, never served his country, never pays his bills, never takes responsibility for his actions, and has a cult-like following him.

Platner is a recovering alcoholic who has PTSD from serving his country during war, takes responsibility for his past behaviors, is far from being a billionaire, hasn't raped or hit any partner as far as we know, and definitely isn't leading a cult.

Apples and oranges.
