"Trump has been comparing himself to historical figures like Alexander the Great and Napoleon, seeing himself as a powerful individual who can achieve what others cannot."
"The self-aggrandizement of Trump has become a defining characteristic, influencing his actions and priorities as he seeks to leave a lasting legacy."
Trump has begun to view himself as a significant historical figure, similar to Hegel's 'world-historical individuals' like Alexander the Great and Napoleon.

This mindset has led to significant consequences, including loss of life, economic damage, and strained international relations.
