Have you heard of the ruler Nero? Well, he wasn't nice to the people he led, so much so, when the city burned, they said Nero was enjoying playing his fiddle. This is a MYTH. There were no fiddles when Rome burned in 64 ad. The phrase is a metaphor for someone being oblivious to a crisis while doing something frivolous, possibly stemming from the rumor that Nero sang about the destruction of Troy while the fire burned and later used the cleared land to build his palace.
There have been CRUEL kings and leaders since time began, in the Bible and throughout history. Nero is known for his particular cruelty, which is a lot like current American President, Donald Trump. Nero was more interested in adoration than effectiveness. He promoted those who praised him, not those who challenged or improved him. This tactic resulted in a court full of flatterers, a government that feared innovation, and an empire that, over time, became paralyzed by political theatre and systemic rot.
Horrible rulers include many names, and DONALD TRUMP will be added to the list.
Vlad the Impaler (1431–1476): Prince of Wallachia, his brutal methods of execution, particularly impalement, were used on his enemies and political rivals. He is thought to be the inspiration for the vampire legends surrounding Count Dracula.
Caligula (12–41 CE): Roman Emperor known for his tyrannical rule, sadism, and extravagance. Accounts of his cruelty include murder, sexual perversity, and a bizarre, erratic personality. He was assassinated by his own Praetorian Guard.
Ivan the Terrible (1530–1584): The first Tsar of Russia, he was known for his extreme paranoia and savage brutality. He purged political opponents and even murdered his own son.
Henry VIII (1491–1547): King of England, known for his ruthless suppression of dissent, executions of perceived traitors, and the beheadings of two of his wives.
Mary I (1516–1558): Queen of England, known as "Bloody Mary," for her persecution of Protestants. Her reign saw the burning of hundreds of people at the stake for their religious beliefs.
Peter of Castile (1334–1369): King of Castile and León, his reign was marked by a series of political purges and murders, earning him the nickname "Peter the Cruel".
Leopold II (1835–1909): King of the Belgians, he exploited the Congo Free State for his personal gain, leading to the deaths of millions of Congolese people through forced labor, torture, and mutilation.
Ranavalona I (1788–1861): Queen of Madagascar, her reign is portrayed in many historical accounts as a reign of terror, with harsh punishments and forced labor resulting in the deaths of many of her subjects.
Selim I (1470–1520): Ottoman Sultan known for his aggressive expansion and ruthless consolidation of power. His reign involved the massacre of tens of thousands of Alevi Muslims within his empire.
Genghis Khan (c. 1162–1227): Founder of the Mongol Empire. While a brilliant military strategist, his conquests were accompanied by a massive loss of life and the brutal slaughter of civilian populations.
Attila the Hun (c. 406–453): A fearsome and ruthless leader of the Hunnic Empire, known for his ambition and lack of mercy toward conquered populations. He even killed his own brother to consolidate power.
If you read carefully, Trump has one characteristic of each infamous ruler before him. Trump is a combination of all the flaws that HURT those he rules. And WHAT does Trump do while he sets America on fire? He dances.
Trump has bulldozed the East Wing of the White house to build a multi-million-dollar ballroom and flies around the country meeting world leaders offering them money for LOYALTY. The building of a Qatar Air Force training base to train their pilots on American soil, is happening NOW so he can USE those loyal pilots against the American people. The plan is being executed to HOSTILLY take over America by FORCE.
The MILITARY will be used in the TORMENT of American citizens. As a military veteran, I hope the military RESISTS and remember their oath to the CONSTITUTION. They are soldiers, sailors, pilots, marines, Special Forces, NOT ASSASSINS. we are living in MURDEROUS times, which is NOT needed or wanted. Resist WITHOUT violence. But know Trump is fiddling/dances while America IS burning.
Remember Rome because history repeats.
