New book reveals how Trump compared himself to Mao, Stalin, Attila the Hun

A new book titled "Regime Change" by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reveals that former President Donald Trump controversially compared himself to formidable historical figures like Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Adolf Hitler. During an interview for the book, Trump presented the authors with a two-page document asserting his own power surpassed that of these leaders, claiming their influence was merely "local" while his was global.

The document, which Trump attributed to a "historian," was in fact created by professional golfer Gary Player's longtime caddy and confidant. Following these revelations, Trump reportedly shared the document on Truth Social, coinciding with the book's upcoming release. This disclosure has sparked public discussion regarding the former president's self-perception and his views on historical leadership.
