Damn Crankies: Donald Trump Is the New George Steinbrenner

Domineering bosses who love to foster unease. Who live and die by tabloid culture. Who take no prisoners. And both of them clean freaks to boot. Convinced? Reassured?

The Trump White House is a chaotic mish-mash of rivals held together by a larger-than-life domineering boss who fosters a sense of unease. This was what life was like during George Steinbrenner’s tenure as owner of the New York Yankees.

If this sounds like a crazy thought, New York Post columnist Steve Serby recently asked Brian Cashman (the Yankees general manager since 199Cool about the comparison. “They do it their way, and take no prisoners. I think they’re very similar,” he said.

Both men were born of immigrant mothers, and both grew up under fathers who had built up the family fortune. And if both men had authoritarian tendencies, it might be because they shared the same sort of tough-guy heroes. Back in 2002, The New Yorker observed that “Steinbrenner’s hero is George Patton.” Trump’s mentor, Manhattan attorney Roy Cohn, was also a counselor to (and friend of) Steinbrenner.
