Trump's self-perception as a historical tyrant detailed in new book

Donald Trump reportedly views himself as a "great man of history," comparing himself to historical tyrants like Attila the Hun and Hitler, and believing power is maintained through fear. This perspective, revealed in a new book, contrasts with effective leadership principles such as conviction, compassion, and inspiration, which are essential for democratic societies. The article argues that Trump's focus on raw power, money, and sex overlooks the core elements of true leadership, which involve building institutions and inspiring followers rather than hoarding power.
