The president screenshotted a lengthy quote from David King, a political historian at the Harvard Kennedy School, which compared historic \u201cpowerful\u201d people known for \u201cbrutal conquest and the fear that they instilled in the populations\u201d during their reigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommon 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,\u201d King said. Ultimately, he said, Trump has a power advantage over all of them because of his “global reach.”<\/p>\n

Trump didn’t appear at all offended by the comparison. On the contrary, he shared the write-up with the words, “Presidential Historian Dave King \u2014 Sounds good to me!”<\/p>\n
