The historical fascination with great leaders and their final resting places is a cornerstone of human curiosity. Tourists in ancient Rome trekked to Egypt, marveling at the pyramids of the Pharaohs, while Caesar himself made the pilgrimage to pay respects to Alexander the Great. Fast forward a few millennia, and millions flock to Napoleon’s tomb in Paris, where grandiose architecture meets tragic history. However, the twist in the tale comes from a New Jersey urologist who somehow got his hands on part of Napoleon’s anatomy back in 1977, an oddity that likely no one asked for. Imagine the headlines if someone could lay claim to George Washington’s… well, anything.
With the news cycle constantly spinning on its head, today’s cultural oddities prove that humans have a long history of wacky behavior—something America is currently showcasing at full tilt. The left has been hammering the idea that Donald Trump, once compared to the most reviled figure in history, Adolf Hitler, is now somehow akin to Napoleon Bonaparte. Apparently, those headlines are fresher than a loaf of sourdough dropped at a hipster café.

Why, you ask? It all began with a simple post on a platform known as X. In a bout of media frenzy, the mainstream press resurrected a reference to Napoleon to spin Trump’s latest statement into something sinister. The premise? Trump’s assertion about saving the nation somehow equals “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” which they link back to a 1970s movie-inspired interpretation of Napoleonic philosophy. Talk about a leap of logic!
Time Magazine, never one to shy away from sensationalism, dug deep into Trump’s admiration for the diminutive French figure, using a ten-year-old tweet as a launchpad for their argument. Truly, the media is going through great lengths searching for connections that simply don’t exist. In their tangled web of assumptions, they hope to create a narrative so dastardly that it makes for a compelling read, but to anyone with a functioning brain, it’s transparently partisan and ridiculous.
Even amidst the chaos, Trump supporters are left to chuckle at the absurdity of it all. If the left’s attempt to vilify Trump as Hitler failed, how could they possibly make a case for him being Napoleon, a notoriously complex historical figure who carried a much different legacy? After all, while Hitler symbolizes pure evil, Napoleon’s story is steeped in military genius and political maneuvering. The left’s intellectual treadmill continues to spin, and if they ever stop to catch their breath, they might realize they’ve exhausted their arsenal of creative slander. The truth remains: Trump is no tyrant in the same league as either figure.
All the Democrats seem to have left in their toolkit are stilted insults and a penchant for character assassination. Trying to turn Trump into Napoleon is like trading a Ford pickup for a Ferrari; while they may both have their merits, they operate in completely different configurations. The American public is unlikely to be fooled by this latest attempt to tarnish someone who’s made waves in American politics and culture.
