Ross Perot, much like Donald Trump, leveraged his business acumen in politics, promoting populism and advocating for changes in U.S. trade and immigration policies.

Despite Perot’s wealth, his campaign resonated with the populist sentiment, warning about job losses from free trade and emphasizing America-focused policy over foreign engagements.

Trump's integration into the Republican party contrasts sharply with Perot's independent candidacy, marking a fundamental shift in how outsider candidates engage with established political structures.

Perot’s focus on the federal deficit shaped his campaign, contrasting with contemporary politics where such fiscal issues have become secondary to more divisive partisan debates.
