We have a modern day Caligula on our hands

This megalomaniac is threatening and bullying our allies brazenly along with his merry band of Bolshevik cronies. The country is headed to the abyss but we have to resist these a-holes. If thsee fools think they can start wars all around the globe and get by unscathed they are bigger fools than anyone could imagine.

Or we would not be here now.

Actually, he is much more like Tiberius, an absolutely horrible man who
was Augustus's stepson.
