Two nights ago, Donald Trump posted a screed by "Presidential Historian Dave King". That's the title Trump used for the guy.

I will link to that post at the end.

Presidential historian Dave King claims in his screed that, "Donald Trump is, without question, the most powerful man that the planet has ever known- by a long way."

"By a long way." Sounds very scholastic, doesn't it. :lol:

King then compares Trump to "Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Atilla the Hun, Tamburlaine, Napoleon, and, more recently, Hitler, Mao, and Stalin".

Hitler, Mao, and Stalin.

Can Trump even name "the Caesars"?

Historian King then deconstructs exactly why each of those men were weaklings compared to Trump. Except Stalin. He doesn't explain why Stalin doesn't measure up.

Maybe because Stalin had the largest military that has ever existed, and played a large part in winning World War II, and subsequently held a large part of the planet in a death grip. Then built a nuclear arsenal which kept the entire world in fear for decades afterward.

Even more amusing, King makes no mention of FDR who wielded the largest military that the US has ever had, and who waged war across the entire planet.

And won.

Trump lost a little skirmish in the Middle East, but he's the GOAT, folks! All hail Trump! All hail Trump!

Good god almighty, this is even more embarrassing than the heavily-bruised octogenarian who has been rushed to the hospital several times and has had a record 22 doctors keeping him alive being called the healthiest president EVAH!

So here's the best part...

Dave King is not a historian.

Trump met King when King was caddying for Gary Player, the Hall of Fame golfer.

BWAA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Absolutely PRICELESS!

Here was Trump's response to the caddy's screed: "Presidential Historian Dave King — Sounds good to me!"

King is not, in fact, a historian, but a Scottish-born businessman now living in South Africa who was previously the chair of the Rangers Football Club, based in Glasgow, which competes in the Scottish Premiership.

Trump seems to have first encountered him when King was caddying for his friend Gary Player, the Hall of Fame golfer, who was participating at an event in his honor.

CNN reported on Friday that Trump first mentioned the document in a March interview with the New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan for their book Regime Change, an account of the first 14 months of Trump’s second term, which is to be published next week.

When the reporters asked Trump to describe the power he wields and his place in world history, according to CNN, Trump called for aides to bring him a two-page document he had received from someone he described as “a historian”.

Brandishing this document, Haberman and Swan reportedly write, Trump recited “the names of some of history’s most powerful figures, explaining how each fell short of his own power as US president”.

No part of this OP complies with Board Rules regarding the infamous “unclean start.” It’s a troll thread designed not to enlighten anyone about anything, but only to stir up some shit.

You can't handle the truth, can you, poor baby.

Everything in the OP is a fact.
 
Oh, a TDS thread. I thought it was going to be another Obama worship thread. Never mind.

In some areas Trumpfy is reasonably bright , and in many areas he can appear savvy and even astute .
Even if overall he is likely a cross between a Lemon and a Doughnut .

However , in some matters he deliberately plays his audience using Deflection .
imho .
from much wider and more serious matters , where and when his position looks vulnerable / weak .

I believe that this is likely an example of Trumpfy the Narcissistic Showman giving us one of his Deflection routines which he believes are clever and smart .
And --- I suspect --- that many are entertained and many delude themselves that when he displays this common touch , he is one of "them".
But imho .
