Subject: Re: Trump orders DOJ to go after oil companies
Yep. Trump is no Alexander..

Even the Alexander of history was not as smart as the Alexander of lore.

He made no provisions for the continuation of his empire after he was gone (why should he? It was all about him!)

The empire fell apart before his body was even in the ground.

Alexander had the phalanx, and it wasn’t even his innovation.

Like Alexander, Trump can break a lot of things. We’ve never faced an internal threat from a guy willing to go the lengths he seems willing to go to secure his own reins on absolute power.

And we seem always behind the curve in thinking “Surely he wouldn’t do THAT!”

And by the time we react, THAT has already been done.
