"Patton and Trump seem alike in some ways."

There are a few extant recordings of Patton; he sounded nothing like George C. Scott.

I always thought Trump sounded pretty similar to Patton, and they even share some facial expressions.

Yeah, there is definitely something about the face and the temperament.

I always found the story about Patton on the bridge in Sicily shooting the mules to be fascinating, and also the story about him sailing his family to Hawaii from California, and he is out of his mind with a concussion he suffered from playing polo. Didn’t remember even the trip later, IIRC.

Wow.

Neither suffered fools, it seems.

Patton had a weak voice. But did it really matter?

A high pitched voice with a touch of Virginia from his dad. A family full of Confederate Army officers. The more excited Patton got the higher his voice would pitch.
