BREAKING: Trump is now privately telling aides that he is one of the most powerful people to ever live, comparing himself to Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Napoleon. He says he has nothing to lose.

“He’s been talking recently about how he is the most powerful person to ever live,” the confidant told The Atlantic. “He wants to be remembered as the one who did things that other people couldn’t do, because of his sheer power and force of will.”

Well, I agree he has done things people didn’t do, but because they were decent people. Half decent people, even.

I’d argue that every modern POTUS has been among the most powerful people ever to live. There is, however, a difference between having power and exercising that power.
