Just some late night curiosity. I was wondering which Roman republic/empire leader resembled Trump the most in terms of:
- stupidity
- narcissism
- harm done to the republic/empire
Basically, someone who was hilariously stupid, narcissistic and just really harmful to the state. Byzantine emperors can be considered as well, okay?
Crassus.
He got obscenely rich from real estate speculation, bought his way into high political office, and started an unnecessary and disastrous war with Iran.
Let’s hope it ends the same way.
With his severed head used as a prop in a production of The Bacchae?
I don’t see it
I get your post is likely humor but indeed it’s not that similar, crassus actually fought on the battlefield while Trump never did.
