Donald Trump and Al Gore would no doubt cringe at the thought that politically speaking, they are brothers from different mothers. But the fact is that when it comes to fighting their pet crusades, global terrorism in Trump’s case and global warming in Gore’s, they are both more alike than different, notes Reason Foundation Senior Analyst Shikha Dalmia.
