Comparison to Hitler, Mao, Stalin? Trump says: ‘Sounds good to me!’

‘Historian’ claims ‘overwhelming difference’ between him and rogues’ gallery of autocrats is that Trump is more powerful

“Historically, powerful people were characterised by brutal conquest and the fear that they instilled in the populations that came under their influence. Common names that would come to mind are Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hunt, Tamburlaine, Napoleon and, more recently, Hitler, Mao, and Stalin.

“The overwhelming difference between each of the above when compared with President Trump is their lack of global reach.”

“Sounds good to me!” Trump wrote, naming the author as “presidential historian Dave King”.

Except Trump is a fucking serial (child) rapist, a fucking buffoon, and an embarrassment.

Where are those Epstein files?

I’d wager my 8 year old grandson knows more history than this orange turd.
