And there is no indication that this is going down well with Republican voters.

He's not going to be president again.

Well, he says he's better than Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

No, that's the problem.

So he has to make sure he has something there that reminds Americans in perpetuity of how great he was.

And that's what this is about.

I think that's right.

The Hegel comparison is that specifically those great men of history were people who disrupted things and who maybe even their populations didn't appreciate in the moment.

So they were disruptors and aggressive and sometimes obnoxious.
