This is a quote of Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon has a number of quotes when Read through the lens of Trump are eerily prescient. Napoleon wasn’t of the same political bent as Trump necessarily, and he was certainly more cerebral, but the lust for power is the same.

'On Tuesday, Amnesty International released its findings from a 16-month investigation into the experiences women face on Twitter—namely, online abuse. The 77-page report, #ToxicTwitter: Violence and abuse against women online, illustrates Twitter’s failures to protect its most vulnerable users and to be transparent about those failures. The report is being released 12 years after the first tweet, which was sent by Twitter co-founder and current CEO Jack Dorsey.'

Yes, I think you're right Across but I like the little details ...

At least we have Boris on the case.

I called President Putin of Russia to congratulate him on his election victory (in past, Obama called him also). The Fake News Media is crazed because they wanted me to excoriate him. They are wrong! Getting along with Russia (and others) is a good thing, not a bad thing...
.....They can help solve problems with North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, ISIS, Iran and even the coming Arms Race. Bush tried to get along, but didn’t have the “smarts.” Obama and Clinton tried, but didn’t have the energy or chemistry (remember RESET). PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!

Saying Russia can help solve problems with Ukraine is on par with Trump’s proposal for a joint cybersecurity unit with Russia.

Carole Cadwalladr is smashing this! Seriously impressive journalism.

The Fake News Media is crazed because they wanted me to excoriate him.

Nothing screams “lackeys write my tweets” like a big word (a metaphorical lychee) in Trump’s usual word salad.

Andrew McCabe authorized criminal probe of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, sources say

That’d do it! (Piss Trump off enough to fire him.)

The whole recusal thing was already smashed to smother webs - this just pulverises further

Wtf autocorrect, I meant smithereens!

Good for McCabe.
