Which figure from the American Revolution does Trump most resemble? My initial response was Aaron Burr, who shared his will to power and lack of scruples, but that would be unfair to Burr. The man was a war hero of sorts and a successful lawyer, after all.
No, Trump reminds me more of George III. Can’t you just imagine George telling his ministers to dominate the streets of America? Can’t you see him saying “When they start looting, we start shooting?” Can’t you envision him ignoring the advice of his military experts and insisting that total victory was possible, when it wasn’t? Of course you can.
