If you halved Donald Trumps age, changed his sexual orientation, gave him a British accent and fussed with his hair only a little, youd end up with a creature much like Milo Yiannopoulos.
He could be Trumps lost gay child. In fact, Yiannopoulos, 33, has a habit of referring to Trump, 70, as Daddy."

I heard nothing worthwhile during Yiannopouloss news conference Tuesday afternoon, though I heard a whole lot of Trump in him, and I wondered no, shuddered at a kind of worldview that may well be in ascendance, thanks to its validation by our president.
That worldview was distilled in Yiannopouloss response when a journalist mentioned Ann Coulter, to whom he is often likened. I dont take comparisons to Ann Coulter to be insulting, he said. She sells a hell of a lot of books.
