MARK LEVIN: After we were attacked at Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto of Japan said, 'I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.' You know, Adam Schiff, you are, in some ways, Admiral Yamamoto. You just awakened a sleeping giant. You threw everything you had at the president, at the Republicans, at 63 million voters who voted for this president and this is the best you have? This is the best you had? You have nothing! And you controlled everything. You control the witnesses, you control the information, you interrupt the Republicans. You had control over the hearing room, control over the rules and the timing at the press events. And you'll have control over the charging documents. You are the Democrat party's Yamamoto. And even now with all the control you have had, all the positive press, and all the clownish legal analysts and the rest, and the propaganda that they are pushing, and they are celebrating, the polls for Donald Trump are going up.

It's a fun comparison, but Yamamoto truly provoked a sleeping giant, where in the present situation Trump was already readying his attacks.
The better metaphor is rope-a-dope, where Trump lulled the DS to think he was backed into a corner and on the ropes, but Trump was instead concentrating his focus to explode on an opponent who had worn itself out and had underestimated Trump's strength and resolve.
