Trump says he is 'the most powerful person to ever live' amid low approvals
Donald Trump declared he is "the most powerful person to ever live" and has begun framing himself as a historic, world-changing figure. The claim comes as his public approval ratings remain historically low across polls and Democrats are pursuing redistricting plans to target every GOP seat. That contrast signals a deliberate rhetorical bid to reshape Trump’s image ahead of 2024 and could shift Republican messaging and voter perceptions.
NEW: Trump has begun talking about how he “is the most powerful person to ever live.” Our look at how Trump’s view of himself as one of history’s Great Men is shaping the second term of what has now become his YOLO Presidency. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
What’s shaping his presidency is knowing he’s nearing the end of his physical life and time in office.
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
In fact, has had more impact than anyone in history; he captured the world’s most powerful nation and turned it into his personal business while destroying its foundations. Like all his businesses it relied on theft and is now nearly bankrupt. We who were admired globally may never be trusted again.
What a disturbing and scary article. Trump is unhinged and unconcerned about public approval, a toxic combination for someone who can destroy the world. We can all take solace in our new Trump passports.
Most powerful person to ever live, maybe. But also the most stupid, the most despicable, the most treasonous, misogynistic & racist.
"The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones." William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar. So much for this guy's legacy.
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how we got to this point and how it just gets worse every effing day. 😵💫🥴😖
By sheer numbers, he's also the most hated person who ever lived. The thing that has happened this time around, that didn't happen in Trump I, is that he's no longer squeamish about ordering that people be killed. Bloodlust
“He wants to be remembered as the one who did things that other people couldn’t do, because of his sheer power and force of will.” He wants to be above the law. Republicans in Congress and SCOTUS are letting him.
Never in my almost 7 decades on earth did I think that I would end up living through the era of perhaps the soon-to-be- considered-most-infamous person in the history of the USA--maybe even ranking among the most infamous people in world history. Hopefully this fall's elections can stop that.
I’m looking forward to Trump’s YODO phase.
Well, when you’re openly a criminal, legitimately accused of being a pedophile, a known rapist and fraud… but you still get elected president. It inflates the fragile ego.
Informative and terrifying article. Thanks for the gift link.
And one day he will be worm food. What he imagines his legacy to be (hideous garish architecture) will be torn down because Trump is the great unifier: decent people around the world despise him. Me included.
Major update: Trump claims he is the most powerful person to ever live as he works to consolidate power. Democrats discuss redistricting GOP-held seats in response to SCOTUS ruling. Trump faces historically low approvals. Trump’s business ventures have a bad day. Subscribe to support my work:
What a doofus. He’s the most unpopular leader in our history. No potus should brag about his power.
he is the most something but power is not the word I would use
Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great send their regards to that flaccid, puny little sociopath. One thing is for sure: he is the dumbest and most ignorant leader that ever lived. Hitler and Mussolini were not very bright, but this asshole is astoundingly STUPID.
I could claim lots of things, but I don't because that would make me appear crazy. Pat him on the head on the way to the insane asylum he's always ranting about
Redistricting just got a whole lot tougher. bsky.app/profile/ludi... This discusses restructuring the states which is redistricting on steroids and can't be overturned by any court. It's the first step to locking these protections in as amendments. When I do a job, I expect it to last.
Is this getting close to the point where God hits the smite button or the flood button...?
“He’s been talking recently about how he is the most powerful person to ever live,” a Trump confidant told The Atlantic. “He wants to be remembered as the one who did things that other people couldn’t do, because of his sheer power and force of will.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
So a monster. He will never be remembered this way.
Trump is deeply disturbed, delusional, perhaps even psychotic. I’m thankful for those in the press that keep the public informed. NEVER forget that most key GOP players are weak kneed puppets, who are fully aware that the old man is bonkers yet choose to defer to his insanity anyway.
He is a fucking psychopath.
