Trump likens himself to a "modern-day Mandela". Former US President and Republican Party candidate for the upcoming presidential elections, Donald Trump, on Saturday likened himself to Mandela.

The move was strongly criticized by the camp of his rival, Democratic President Joe Biden. Donald's comparison of himself to Nelson Mandela came in the midst of his continuous attacks on Judge Juan Merchan, who is examining one of the charges against Trump related to illegally paying money to a porn star. Trump's trial in the porn star case will begin on April 15.
