Lots of things to consider historically as we head towards the inauguration of reality television star Donald Trump next week-end. Who can we really compare him to historically? Hitler? The despicable Roman emperor Caligula? Perhaps, a meshed combination of the insecure Richard Nixon, racist George Wallace, with a touch of porn star publisher Larry Flynt sprinkled atop the bad hair? My mind remains open as I explore all the historical possibilities.
During Trump inauguration week I’m going to formulate my official historical comparison of Trump. Let’s start with Hitler.
