I'm not sure that's a really good comparison. The boy didn't have the means to command the townsfolk to help him. Trump can command the military, sign EOs, sign/veto bills, and so on. He actually has power and, as I've always said, watch what he does, not what he says. He's taken a page from Putin's handbook where you use misdirection to keep opponents off balance and that's always done through speech/word. What's the saying? Twitter is Trump's laser pointer...

OTOH Trump should not be the boy who cried wolf, either
