Surely it better than calling him President Pile of Filth, or the Con Man of the Free World?In the Presidency of Donald Trump, we are watching the total destruction of this country. From American values, to our rule of law, common decency and honesty, truth, our democratic principles, all are being dismantled in front of our very eyes.
There are parallels between what Trump is doing to our republic and what Caligula did to Rome.
Caligula wanted to rule as an autocrat and he was contemptuous of the pretense that the senate had any power at all.
“What he did was to trample the dignity of the senatorial elite into the dirt and what he discovered in doing that was that the mass of the Roman people really enjoyed it.”What Trump has done to the Republican establishment.
“Trump has said and done things that are utterly shocking by the standards of traditional political morality, but far from making him unpopular with the masses there is a sense in which he has become the toast of the people.”
!I think of Trump as a combination of Crassus, Caesar and Nero.
Nero for his narcissistic vanity, Crassus for his unprincipled lust for gold, and Caesar because he only is interested in competing with other billionaires and despises the common people, but knows how to win over the mob with meaningless demagoguery and trifles.
Only a very brilliant brain could manage to accuse others of demagoguery while comparing the elected President of the United States, to three bloody Emperors.
I heard today that Trump went to Nashville and laid a wreath on the grave of the genocidal murderer and stealer of Indian lands, Andrew Jackson !!
It figures.
