REPORT: Trump now thinks he’s the most powerful person to ever live

from Hope For America with Heather Delaney Reese · host Heather Delaney Reese

In the early morning hours of April 29th, 2026, the President of the United States couldn't sleep. So he picked up his phone and posted a meme of himself in a suit and sunglasses, holding an assault rifle in front of a bombed-out landscape with explosions rising behind him. "NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!" The man with his finger on the nuclear codes spent the overnight hours posting action-hero fan fiction of himself. And what came next only got harder to believe.Based on the events of 4-29-2026The Breakdown:• The Atlantic reported a longtime Trump confidant said he's "been talking recently about how he is the most powerful person to ever live"• Two sources with direct knowledge told The Atlantic that Trump no longer compares himself to George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, but to Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte• A senior administration official said Trump is "unburdened by political concerns" and that this freedom is what drove the decision to strike Iran• Who Alexander the Great actually was: the brutality, the paranoia, the empire built around one man that collapsed the moment he was gone• During the Artemis II crew's Oval Office welcome home from their historic moon mission, Trump veered off to comment on NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman's "beautiful ears" and "super hearing"• The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision written by Justice Alito, gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the law signed by LBJ in the wake of Bloody Sunday• Justice Kagan in dissent: "Today's decision renders Section 2 all but a dead letter"• Eric Holder called it "Supreme Court sanctioned racial and partisan gerrymandering"• An NPR analysis found at least 15 House districts currently represented by Black members of Congress could be at risk• Hours after the ruling, Florida's legislature approved a new map creating four additional Republican-leaning districts• The Second Circuit denied Trump's request to rehear the E. Jean Carroll case, leaving the $83 million verdict in place. Six years. Two trials. She is still standing• Disney invoked the First Amendment in response to the FCC's retaliatory order targeting ABC stations over Jimmy Kimmel, and Kimmel's show goes on• A new analysis found Democrats could redraw as many as 19 Republican-held districts in states they control, potentially neutralizing today's ruling• The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act has been reintroducedA gate agent staying with a terrified flyer. Three strangers moving at once to help an elderly man with his bag. That is America. That is who we actually are. He is not us. He is a passing moment. Alexander the Great didn't build anything that lasted, and neither will he. For every step backward, we build three times the momentum forward. The midterms are the most immediate answer, and local elections matter more than ever.More on my daily substack at: https://heatherdelaneyreese.substack.com/
