I am now using this to describe politicians, because good words never lose use.

One thing you had to say about Trump: He was his own man. nobody was pulling his strings, and he was consistent in the things he promoted, even when it caused the Left to squeal and cry!

Prez 46 on the other hand... it is VERY apparent when his strings have been cut, his teleprompter is off, and he is out of note cards.
