Mussolini leaves a message for the future

"Like most leaders with any sort of an ego, Benito Mussolini wanted to be remembered. But the Italian fascist wasn't leaving his legacy up to chance, according to researchers who say they've found a Latin text hidden under the Mussolini Obelisk in Rome that eulogizes his feats during the rise of fascism."....

"In three parts, the document retraces the history and "achievements" of fascism and Mussolini. "The text presents Mussolini as a kind of new Roman emperor, but also, by using biblical language, as the savior of the Italian people," one researcher says, and credits the dictator with "regenerating the country through his superhuman insight and resoluteness."


Trump so reminds me of Mussolini that one cannot help but make the comparisons. As one commentator said in the link he wonders what they find in the cornerstone of Trump Towers - probably something similar to Mussolini's.
