/r/the_donald discusses Socrates, socialism and Aristotle.

I was already against the Silician expedition in 416 BC. A disaster, total disaster, only made possible by our incompetent leadership - looking at you Alcibiades! Terrible idea of his, always said so from the start. You don't have to be a genius to figure this out - even though I am a genius. Sad!

If you elect me, I would knock the hell out of the Peloponnesian League. With these terrorists, you have to go after the families. You have to. I would just kill everybody in Mytilene, if I was in charge, and many of my general friends have called me and said it's a great idea. It's true. By the way, when was the last time we truly won a war? Pericles had no idea how to conduct a war, he was a horrible leader. Horrible! Holding up in Athens and only using your boats? A terrible idea, just terrible. Not at all like me folks, I would go after them, and I would hit them so hard like they've never been hit before. Believe me! By the way, folks, Pericles was so Low-Energy, he died of a plague! A plague, folks! Can you believe it?
