(50,559 posts)The answer is right in front of us: Trump is a latter-day Idi Amin. According to Amin's Wiki page, " his) rule was characterized by human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption and gross economic mismanagement. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is estimated by international observers and human rights groups to range from 100,000 to 500,000."
Amin is guilty of seven classes of atrocity. Trump hasn't even been inaugurated yet and he's up to four - political repression, ethnic persecution, nepotism and corruption. If you want to add in his business dealings, we can also count gross economic mismanagement - something that's part of his campaign platform, so he'll have that one in official life too.

(34,648 posts)If I were christian I'd seriously maybe believe he is the antichrist. The way he can do nothing wrong enough for his fans to drop him. He said himself he could shoot somebody and not lose a supporter, and they LIKED IT. I dont even think im gonna enjoy saying told you so to his fans.

(13,870 posts)Caligula would hold banquets with Senators and during the banquet would pick out one of the wives to have sex with. After his tryst he would return to the banquet table where he would proceed to tell everyone how the Senator's wife was in bed.

Caligula had crazy incest with his sister Drusilla.
We all know how Trump looks at Ivanka and says he would date her except for that inconvenience of being hwr father.

(1,364 posts)for a few months now, so I kind of lean towards Caligula. Man screwed his own horse. Trump would fuck any thing. Including his own daughter.
