The process of creating the ball with your hands is similar to making meatballs, gently shaping the ball by pressing your hands inward so the rice sticks together. If you see sauce oozing out add a little more rice to that area and mold it into the ball. To assemble the rice balls, you simply start with a small amount of rice in the palm of your hand, cupping it upward on the edges to create a little “pocket.” Add a small amount of Bolognese sauce, and top it with another scoop of rice using both of your hands to shape it into a ball.

So much of Trump’s political style - the jutting jaw, the politics of grievance, projecting the image of the strongman defying the corrupt elites, and portraying a free press as enemies of the people - come from Mussolini, who in turn borrowed so much from the poet turned adventurer and politician Gabriele D’Annunzio.ĭ’Annunzio pioneered the Trump-style rally with responsive chants - “the enthusiasm and passion between speaker and audience, which later came to be regarded as typical of Mussolini,” according to his biographer, Laura Fermi.
