"I am Thomas Cromwell in the court of the Tudors". Stephen Bannon

[bronxiteforever]

Cromwell was condemned to death without trial, lost all his titles and property and was beheaded on Tower Hill on 28 July 1540 in a public execution, the day of the King's marriage to Catherine Howard.The executioner had great difficulty severing the head. Afterwards, his head was set on a spike on London Bridge.

<snip>
Steve Bannon, the White House chief strategist, owns an oil painting of himself dressed as Napoleon Bonaparte – and it was given to him by Nigel Farage, it has emerged.

The peculiar revelation, published in New York magazine, comes from an upcoming book on the former Breitbart News head’s political rise and his at-times fractious relationship with Donald Trump.

According to the author Joshua Green, the painting replicates the famous portrait of Napoleon in his study at the Tuileries palace, but with Bannon in place of the emperor.

While no images of Bannon’s version have yet been made public, speculative Twitter users have had fun photoshopping the White House adviser’s head on to the body of the 19th century French ruler.

10. Trump is very much like Henry VIII

He would love to execute people who he felt betrayed him.

11. I see him more as Grigori Rasputin in the court of the Romanovs.

Read this and draw your own parallels:
