A quote by Thomas Paine. He describes trump perfectly.

"Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent. Selected from the rest of mankind their minds are easily poisoned by importance, and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large; that they have but little opportunity knowing its true interests; and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions."
