Timothy Snyder: Trump Wants to be God

Real Patriotism

About

"Trump is not really fighting with Pope Leo. He's fighting a proxy battle with God."  — Historian Timothy Snyder wrote the book "On Tyranny." He breaks down why Trump is mad at God, why he's losing the Iran War, and why the fall of Hungary's authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban should scare the pants of Trump and give the rest of us hope.
