Yes, the two business leaders agreed on some key issues and led unorthodox campaigns that upset traditional politics, but they were very different men.
The news Tuesday of the death of Ross Perot sparked a flurry of commentary comparing the Texas tycoon and former independent presidential candidate to Donald Trump.
The Perot I came to understand during two years of research and dozens of hours of interviews was an intensely patriotic maverick who knew what he wanted and how to get it. He mocked the cumbersome and costly bureaucracy that he claimed was suffocating Washington. His folksy one-liners and blunt talk about how to fix everything from the ballooning deficit to the loss of American jobs made him stand apart from politicians offering dense policy papers and carefully nuanced answers.
In our conversations, he said,"Don't just tell me what the problem is, tell me how you will solve it." The words or themes he often spoke about were integrity, discipline and actions not words. He did not swear. With regard to Trump, Perot kept his feelings private. There was no doubt in 2016, however, that the ballooning national deficit that sparked his own run in 1992 had picked up steam once again.
