A new book titled "Regime Change", which is due to be officially released next Tuesday by journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, has revealed an intriguing document in which US President Donald Trump adopts an ambitious and inflated perception of the size of his power, describing himself as the most influential and influential of prominent historical figures such as Attila the Hun leader, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Adolf Hitler.
The authors of the book explained that Trump began to read aloud from that document, reviewing the names of the most powerful emperors in history, showing how each of them did not reach the level of his current power as president of the United States of America.
Trump mocked the ability of Alexander the Great, the Roman emperors, and William the Conqueror to control and influence in comparison to him, asking with pride: "They didn't have planes, did they? They couldn't move around like we do today."
Journalists Habermann and Swan noted the apparent pleasure the U.S. president felt as he placed himself on the side of Mao, Hitler and Stalin, as well as the ease with which he accepted a personal status among men who reshaped the world through conquest, fear, and absolute power.
Limitless power
In a lengthy 45-minute interview with journalist Mark Caputo on Axios' soon-to-be-aired "The Axios Show," Trump announced that he has discovered the absence of any limits to his power since he entered a confrontation and war with Iran, repeating the idea that power is measured by the extent to which others submit to it.
The US president claimed that the G7 leaders fully believed him when he joked with them by saying, "I am the president here," adding that Israel has great respect for him and will do whatever he asks of it, and stating that without his direct intervention, Israel would not exist today.
Trump defended the Iran deal in the face of criticism from hardline Republicans, saying the result was practically equivalent to an "unconditional surrender" by Tehran and a "regime change."
The US president expressed his admiration for Chinese President Xi Jinping, calling him "completely practical", and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling him a "tough person", while focusing at length on French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to hold a dinner in his honor at the Palace of Versailles as one of the protocol evidence that appeals to him.
Restrictions and Origin
Trump acknowledged that there is only one constraint that binds his absolute power, which is the economy, explaining that it was the fear of a "global recession" that prevented the expansion of the war to appease the hardliners, citing the decline in oil prices and the revival of the stock market as evidence of the correctness of his decisions.
The document, which Trump posted on his social media platform, claiming to be of a "presidential historian," actually belonged to South African golfer Gary Player's personal assistant and former golf stick holder, which concluded that Trump's willingness to use influence makes him the most powerful person historically.
This controversial political vision took root in the White House following the U.S. military intervention and direct confrontation with Tehran, a milestone that Trump saw as a turning point that confirmed the absence of any constitutional restraints on his strategic decisions.
This shift was linked to the president's desire to impose a fait accompli as a top priority, while exerting strict influence over Washington's allies to ensure their absolute loyalty to the new power equation he leads, driven by an unbridled personal desire that his name should not be historically associated with any economic downturn that mimics the Great Depression.
