Orange Ceasar Rises

[Anomalocaris]

Trump has every tool he needs to become Orange Mussolini.  He's got tens of millions of rabid supporters, a complicit Senate, and a judiciary packed with his appointees.  We live in a turn-key police/surveillance state- that infrastructure has been in place for nearly a generation.

The only check on Trump's power is his own incompetence as a leader.

Incompetent despots who lasted a long time is not scarce in the Caribbean and Central America.   Who said their natural territory does not include north of Rio Grande as well?

Oh, come on people Trump,s not Cesar. He's freaking Nero. He's an overweight narcissistic crybaby with delusions of grandeur who hates losing And no sense of humanity or decency. It fits like a glove.

Except Nero is a better comparison

Gaius Julius Caesar was an avid statesman and an excellent general (Trump is neither of these things)

Nero was an overweight man child with delusions of grandeur that didn't match his competence, And an insatiable need to be the center of attention. Mixed with authoritarian tendencies and a penchant for excessive cruelty (Trump to a tee)

An even better comparison, apart from the morbid obesity, would be Commodus.

Caligula is more apt.    Nero has an appreciation for the arts, commodus is said to be able to fight.
