New Book Reveals Trump Shared Document Comparing His Power to Historical Leaders
A new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reveals that Donald Trump shared a document comparing his presidential power to historical figures like Napoleon, Hitler, and Stalin. The document, authored by Dave King—a longtime caddy of golfer Gary Player rather than a historian—argues Trump’s global influence surpasses past leaders due to modern tools. Trump has publicly embraced this comparison, while the book details his belief in expanded executive power during his second term and his consideration of political successors like J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio.
