Striking Similarities Between Pres. Trump and Eva Perón

Amanda Eubanks Winkler, associate professor of music history and cultures in the College of Arts & Sciences, was quoted in the ABC News story “Why Trump loves ‘Evita,’ and what it says about his presidency”

Winkler noted the similarities between Trump, a former reality TV star turned president, and Peron, a former radio star who became a policy-making first lady.

“Eva Perón was star of radio dramas and to a lesser extent film in Argentina, and then she went on and had this political career and political power,” Eubanks Winkler said in an interview with ABC News.
