        The guy who tried to take over Europe was arrested and banished (to run a tropical island, so like most rich and powerful was given a super kushy “punishment” that’s more like a forced retirement), returned and tried to take over Europe a second time and was banished again (this time to an actually unpleasant island off the coast of Africa under active guard) might not be the best person for trump to be quoting in this context…
