This Trump guy must be the greatest leader/politician ever according to the media.
Surrounded by back stabbing senators....seems right enough.
Why I'm glad his inner circle/guards seem more Varagian guard than Praetorian guard.
The Colosseum wasn't even a thing in Julius Caesar's time.
I was too impressed that they managed to spell it correctly to notice that.
First it was Hitler, now it's Julius Caesar. Next he will be Gilgamesh.
No Gilgamesh is too ethnic, Beowulf is a nice white legend he could be
We read Beowulf in high school. I wonder if they still read it. Also, they found some more content to Epic of Gilgamesh, so even that gets an update before Winds of Winter
George "Hard R" Martin, eat your heart out!

I like it. Beowulf fought the swamp hag
So considering the hag, Grendel, and dragon, which is which when matching up with Killary, Brandon, and Cackles? 🤔
Gilgamesh is cooler though. Ancient legend before Beowulf and a story of humility and responsibility.
They skipped Napoleon
He didn't stand out in the crowd of white men the MSM are going through for the smear campaign.
CNN, You already sold me on him, you don't need to keep hyping him up.
Ceasar was a based populist, so this is a great advert. But I disagree that Trump is a Ceasar figure, he's not here to overthrow the republic but instead he's here to restore it, so hes more like Emperor Aurelianus, come to save us from the crisis of the 3rd Century
Reminder that in 2017, there was a version of the Shakespeare play "Julius Caesar" where instead of the titular character/person being stabbed to death, it was Donald Trump.
Reminds me of that HIMYM episode where Ted gets caricatured of sorts in a movie written by the ex husband of a woman Ted almost marries but instead she leaves Ted at the altar and runs off with her ex husband.
In the movie there's a character blatantly based on Ted and named in such a way it would be like having a character called Ronald Grump written by pure distilled TDS. At one point in the film it flat out uses Teds full and real name dropping any and all pretense that could have been argued up until that point.
I feel like unless they change a lot of stuff...
I mean he isn't the villian in that lol
Ave!
When do we get to Hadrian?
I wish.
I WISH he was that cool
Maybe he is more like Justinian, since the empire is so divided.
