    Perot, who ran for president as a third-party candidate in 1992 and 1996, is largely credited with providing a road map for Trump's presidential campaign.

    Like Trump, Perot ran as a billionaire populist against the Republican establishment. His focus on the North American Free Trade Agreement – rather than the national debt – and his use of cable news for laying out his agenda were both familiar elements of Trump's campaign.

    As Democratic strategist James Carville put it in a 2016 podcast: "If Donald Trump is the "Jesus" of the disenchanted, displaced non-college white voter, then Perot was the "John the Baptist" of that sort of movement." ...
