Eerily similar to the verbiage on the Access Hollywood tape, except instead of bragging about assaulting women he’s talking about pilfering historical artifacts, most of which we will likely never see again.

“Ambition, in the classical sense, reveals itself in the character of the people around President Donald Trump. His second term is an opportune moment to look to the fall of the Roman Republic, when ambition… launched a civil war and doomed self-government.” — @tomgpalmer.bsky.social

Ambition, Character, and Liberty
Roman moralists mistrusted ambition, which they connected to bribery and flattery. The powerful men around President Donald Trump show the dangers of ambition in its classical sense.
