DU must APOLOGIZE for calling the President "Caligula"

[elehhhhna]

He is, imo, much more like Incitatus.

Poppy is Caligula.

"Caligula shared with most of the Romans a passion for horse-racing. His family owned most of the land where St. Peter's now stands and Caligula built there a private hippodrome, which is usually known as Circo Vaticano o di Nerone. He embellished this circus by placing at its centre an obelisk. Notwithstanding his private circus, he spent a lot of time at Circo Massimo watching the races in which his horse Incitatus (incited) took part. He was so fond of his horse that no expense was spared although we do not know whether Incitatus was actually happy to be living in a marble stable or to be eating from an ivory manger. Incitatus was covered with fine cloths with red borders and from this detail historians claim that Caligula appointed his horse to the position of senator."

6. Well, some of the Republican senators might well be described as his horses..

or perhaps as you said, just the posterior parts thereof!

He also is appointing horses-posteriors to the Supreme Court.
