In The End.

For fans of Stoic philosophy like myself, here's a wonderful video by Daily Stoic Author Ryan Holiday, in it he compares Trump to Nero.
Narcissist don't want to be challenged they just want to be agreed with.
They surround themselves with yes men.
They can't admit error, and therefore they never learn or grow.
They do not take responsibility for their actions.
"No I don't take responsibility at all" ~Trump

Really good stuff for philosophy fans...

Do they fail before winning two terms of the Presidency?

OR do they get elected twice, bang your democracy up the ass....and then fail after that?


LOL you people.

Haven't seen the ball since the kickoff.

Unfortunately while Ryan Holiday has an informative website when he sticks to what the Stoics actually said, playing to what he believes to be his target audience by politicizing Stoicism is pretty typical.

Trump is absolutely nothing like Nero and he's just catering to ProGlibs.

Well then, please refute Mr. Holidays points.

Here's a wonderful video by Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday in it he compares Trump to Nero.
Both lived in echo chambers and failed miserably.
(Trumps 1st term was a disaster and this one is looking even worse!)

"Since his return to the presidency, Trump has seldom ventured to anywhere other than his own clubs. Everyone around Trump, and everything he is seeing on TV and on his phone, is telling him that he’s right."
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Only Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors
Truth Social
Lack of independent staff to challenge him.
