I would suggest that Vlad the Impalers problems came from his megalomaniac tendencies mixed with paranoia. Vlad wants to be remembered as Vlad the Great... Fair enough. To achieve that, he had to have external threats that were existential, and he made that up in the caucuses, then Ukraine, to magically concentrate the public interest to other than the corruption and graft of his government. In DJTs case, he is not a megalomaniac as far as I can see, he presents generally as a sociopathic narcissist, who cannot balance a cheque book, and is adept at avoiding consequences as much as the original "teflon Don" did. Right now, John Giotti would be pretty annoyed at being left in the dust by the efforts of POTUS to extend his history of wreckage of commercial enterprises to include the USA, and much if not all of the world. That is far outside of the capacity of Vlad, so, to that end, kudos to DJT, well played.
