Unhinged Trump, 80, Celebrates ‘Brutal’ Comparison to Hitler and Stalin (Historian Dave King, praising Donald J. Trump as being MORE dictatorial than Genghis Khan, etc. at least in terms of potential and actual reach, said: “Common names that would come to mind are Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, 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. Their power was limited to restricted local areas (even though some of these areas were quite large in a local context). They had nowhere near the control over modern logistics, manpower, technology, and the global economic muscle that President Trump can enforce.”  Commenting on King, Trump reacted on Truth Social media platform: “Sounds good to me!”)
