15 Historical Figures That Donald Trump Probably Believes Are Still Alive

As we enter into Black History Month, President Donald J. Trump was caught on tape making a statement that made it seem like he believed abolitionist Frederick Douglass was still alive.

After his comment, Trump received many criticisms and jests from publications that theorized that he may not even be aware of who Frederick Douglass even was.

Over time, Trump has been condemned for not having a strong understanding of American politics in general, so this lapse in understanding of American history and about a significant African American figure has led to even more aims taken against the new President.


With this latest comment, I have taken it upon myself to compile a list of historical figures that Trump most likely still believes to be alive. I have listed them below with comments that Trump would probably make concerning each of them if he were asked his opinion about them.

1. Alexander the Great

Trump: “Fantastic guy. I model my leadership after what he’s been doing. That was how I became the President of the United States!”

2. Napoleon Bonaparte

Trump: “I received a personal phone call from Napoleon, where he congratulated me on my perfect campaign!”

3. Julius Caesar

Trump: “I’m sure he loves The Apprentice. Or at least he did before that Schwarzenegger ruined it!”


4. Jesus Christ

Trump: “That’s only what my closest friends call me.”


5. W.E.B. Du Bois

Trump: “I don’t know about W.E.B. but I do know that I thrive on the WEB because my twitter has 23.8 MILLION followers!”

6. Mahatma Gandhi

Trump: “Good man, good man. His ideas of peace are nice, but war is often necessary. ”

7. Henry VIII

Trump: “Now he knows exactly what marriage is all about!”

8. Langston Hughes

Trump: “Love his work. I have some of his art hanging in my home. Right next to my safe full of money!”

9. Kim Jong-il

Trump: “I respect him very much, I’m hoping to build a relationship with him just like the one I’ve developed with Putin. My presidency is going to be revolutionary!”

10. Frida Kahlo

Trump: “She is in support of my wall, she’s told me herself.”

11. Osama bin Laden

Trump: “Exactly the kind of man we are fighting against with my brilliant Muslim ban. We must bring him down! But these judges are slowing my progress!”

12. Malcolm X


Trump: “One of those Black Lives Matter radicalists!! Promoting violence! All Lives Matter!”


13. Mother Teresa


Trump: “She is a great mother to everyone. Just like I am the great father that the United States and the world needed!

14. Rosa Parks

Trump: “She’s making more progress than that LIAR Hillary ever did!”

15. Harriet Tubman

Trump: “I loved her in The Help.”

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
