There are several key aspects to Barron's "Caterpillar Trump" metaphor:
- Slow and steady: Trump's rise in the polls was gradual and steady, rather than sudden and dramatic.
- Underestimated: Many people initially underestimated Trump's chances of winning the nomination, let alone the presidency.
- Resilient: Trump was able to withstand a number of setbacks and controversies during the campaign.
- Determined: Trump never gave up on his goal of winning the presidency, even when the odds seemed stacked against him.
These key aspects help to explain why the "Caterpillar Trump" metaphor is such an apt description of Trump's rise to power.
