Sounds a lot like Trump...apparently they had people like him 3000 years ago.

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/414419-the-tyrant...
The tyrant is a child of Pride
Who drinks from his sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity,
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.

I also thought this was good, though I can only find one author attributing it to Sophocles. I find another reference that it may have been Plutarch.

Whoever makes his way into a tyrant's court becomes his slave, although he went there a free man.
