Maybe the deranged historical figure that The Former Guy is most like is King Henry VIII. An overgrown, uncontrollable child who cannot conceive of being told what he can or cannot do.
It is tempting to compare him to the ludicrous strutting Mussolini. Posing in chin jutting postures of braggadocio and domination.
It is tempting to compare him to Hitler and his bigoted hatred of what he considers races (and genders and sexual orientations) that are “inferior” to the “supreme white man”, himself most of all, of course.
But maybe it is the actual king that he wishes he was, who destroyed all norms of behavior and all opposition to his depraved whims and passions.
Enough already.
Prison please.
