The crazy thing about this is he is less popular than the two last presidents, and given his legacy and where he is, he will never be a president who is popular and leaving office and that is just the reality of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe can try to say in his head that he is the most powerful, that he\u2019s like a dictator, whatever that is, that he has all the powers in the world, but the reality is that this man is gonna go down as probably one of the least popular presidents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the document, King wrote that historically, powerful people were categorized by \u201cbrutal conquest and the fear that they instilled in the populations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\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 continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White House insiders told CNN that Trump\u2019s decision to share the document on Truth Social on Thursday was likely his attempt at damage control ahead of the book\u2019s release on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Other revelations in the book include the fact that the president had been personally using super glue to add gold adornments around the Oval Office, and stomach-churning details about his late-night snacking habits and his complete failure to clean up after himself, leaving trash lying on the floor of the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1758\">Trump Lets Slip His Pick for Next President in Bizarre Exchange<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panelists on CNN\u2019s Newsnight were in stitches after learning who exactly compared President Donald Trump to historical figures like Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan.
