The_Dude Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It’s a simple game if you want to play. Who is the historical figure that Trump most resembles and why. You can base your answer off whatever criteria you want (obviously). But who does Trump remind you of and why? What traits of his are similar to the historical figure you’re comparing him to.

Became Emperor when he was 10 years old. Dealt with "barbarian" invasions chipping away at the outskirts of the empire and also with some attempted usurpations. Ultimately those things led to the first sack of Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see? I could have easily gone to Wikipedia and scanned his entire life and pretended that was previously obtained knowledge but I don’t do that. If I’m not an expert I say so. If I’m not knowledgeable on a topic I state so and I ask questions. I ask questions because I believe learning is continuous. Am I supposed to be expected to have knowledge on every historical figure? ? 24 minutes ago, snafu said: No, I meant the Emperor Honorius I. He was an Emperor of Rome in the late 4th - early 5th C.

That doesn’t even prove that i didnt know Khan was a title and that’s about all I know about the Mongols from that time — that and their way of war. So if I don’t know their political practices or means of succession, and you addressed the guy as “Khan” why would I argue that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you accept the falsehoods blindly? And you're "familiar with" Genghis Khan...but didn't know his name wasn't "Genghis Khan?" Friggin' stoner dipshits.

Most of what I read on them stems from Byzantine sources. Most of what I read was just detailing their methods of fighting. But yeah — you know more about Genghis Khan than I. ????? And you’re pulling out a fact I don’t even care about and is completely insgnificant...did you know Germanicus’ real name wasn’t Germanicus? In fact, you’re an idiot if you don’t know what Germanicus’ real name was. G’head — tell me his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
