![After they wrapped up their research, the authors sat down with Trump to check their facts. He drifted on to why his "love affair" with Venezuela went back to his years of owning the Miss Universe pageant, which featured many beautiful Venezuelans. What he really wanted to relate was a conversation he had had with a historian whose verdict was that Trump was "without question, the most powerful man the planet [had] ever known - by a long way." The historian had sent Trump a two-page memo from which he read. "If President Trump is the American Eagle, then William the Conqueror was merely a sparrow." Curious about the identity of the historian, Swan tracked down a golf caddie in Florida, who confessed a passion for history.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oo3kppddak7qrhuyzgvozldb/bafkreibchgnag7b7tavmaa237lgtstno4hjjlnvw3kyh6lh6eewvnxbm3m)
![Jeff Elrod, the Director of Elections for Alabama’s Secretary of State, testified
at the preliminary injunction hearing on May 22, 2026, that voter reassignments for
the 2023 Plan in Alabama’s voter registration database could not begin until May 27
and must be completed by tomorrow, June 2. App.123, 136–37, 139, 167, 179. In fact,
June 2 itself appears to be too late: Mr. Elrod testified, “The vendor has
communicated to us that once the absentee process begins and absentee ballot is
issued [sic], that is when the records are locked. The first day for absentee voting for
the June 16th runoff is June the 2nd.” App.139. If absentee ballots are issued the
morning of June 2, then all changes must be completed by today, June 1. And state
and county administrative offices are closed today, June 1, to celebrate the birthday
of Jefferson Davis.1 This leaves a few hours on an Alabama holiday to complete voter
reassignment for the 2023 Plan](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wovz3whdkughp6decczypkqq/bafkreiarblp4swb664h6xqxy3nl55qbdgvf26bhgzipfi6lqasgia7qyre)
