Donald Trump, George Wallace, Jesse Jackson and the power of outsiderism How is Donald Trump like George C. Wallace and Jesse Jackson? That question is neither a joke nor a Zen koan.

e Rev. Al Sharpton thinks Donald Trump has run a “great” media campaign in his bid for the White House — and believes the Republican is like a white version of his pal Don King.
