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.
