New book reveals how Trump compared himself to Mao, Stalin, Attila the Hun
The book says Trump compared his global reach with Stalin, Mao and Hitler and later posted the passage online.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump shared a document on Truth Social comparing himself to Adolf Hitler, Mao, and Stalin, declaring, "Sounds good to me!" during an interview for a forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.
- According to 'Regime Change,' the upcoming book by Haberman and Swan, the document originated from a golf caddy rather than a historian as Trump claimed, undercutting the credibility of his comparison to historical tyrants.
- Historical figures like Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun maintained power through 'fear and authoritarianism' in limited regions, the text argues, while Trump's influence is magnified by the United States' modern economic and military reach.
- Trump faces a rising Republican revolt, with party figures including Nikki Haley and Ted Cruz condemning his recent Iran memorandum as a "capitulation" to Tehran that lifts sanctions without forcing full nuclear disarmament.
- Erratic behavior—from gluing gold decorations in the Oval Office to ordering federal investigations of perceived enemies—illustrates Trump's 'unconstrained' second term as he navigates foreign policy crises and deepening internal party dissent.
