Your point presumably being that he's an unkempt buffoon, and so comparable to Trump?

Johnson was an MP for 8 years before being Mayor of London for 8 years. Before that he went to Oxford. He worked in the media for several years as a political columnist before becoming MP.

It's actually one of the reasons he will excel in the job. Bush was/is an idiot with poor public speaking skills, Boris is a shrewd well surrounded politician who plays up to the bumbling idiot toff stereotype which curries him huge favour with the masses & does a job of hiding his very right wing views.

I don't even doubt he was intellectually up there until some time around his election the first time when he started to develop early onset dementia. I tried to find a video of him being articulate but all they have on youtube are ones of him looking impaired.

I don't think he was intellectually up there. I think I was sold on him.
