Boas Compares President Trump To 'True Grit' Character Rooster Cogburn

Now we’re going to check in with the Editorial Board of The Arizona Republic. It’s a regular segment where we talk about the big issues facing the state and the region — featured in the newspaper’s Viewpoints section.

President Donald Trump has been compared to a lot of people over the past year or so — some have been complimentary, many others have not.

In an opinion piece over the weekend, The Republic said Trump was reminiscent of the old John Wayne character Rooster Cogburn from the film "True Grit."

Editorial Director Phil Boas wrote the piece comparing Trump with Cogburn and joins me for his weekly appearance to talk about it.
