Would it be accurate to call Donald Trump a Gonzo Politician?

Asked by filmfann (52219points) May 31st, 2016

In journalism, you try to tell the story without becoming part of the story.
Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson became media rock stars by actually becoming part of the story, and impacting the result. They made being the media involved in how it played out.
Donald Trump is now involving the media as a participant, and usually the villain, in his run for the Presidency.
Would his unorthodox approach be legitimately characterized as Gonzo?
