“the robust head of Trump, smirk-scowling, taking up as much space as the entire grouping of all the Founding Fathers on the opposite page. His portrait rises above the faded text of the Declaration of Independence. A man still alive, but pre-embedded in history” www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Gotta hand it to him: Trump turned an entire nation into a billboard and made the billboard pay for it. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

While #thestain may see himself as Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon, I see him, Hegseth and Miller as Hitler and Mussolini. #GOPtrashbinofhistory www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

There truly no words except the highly technical psych term, "delusional".

Alexander the Great died at 32 in Babylon from a mysterious fever, possibly malaria or poisoning. Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March, stabbed 23 times by Roman senators. Napoleon died in exile on St. Helena, from stomach cancer or arsenic poisoning. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...
