Trumpeshveirosh (updated)

It occurred to me during Thursday night's Megillah reading that, personality-wise, King Achashverosh (Ahasuerus) is a lot like Donald Trump.

If you disrespect him, you an get your head (metaphorically) chopped off.

To be in his inner circle you have to not only fawn over him but also you have to know exactly how.

Once you gain his favor, he trusts your judgment and let you act largely independently.

Also, for those he trusts, they can gain a great deal financially. 

If you cross him, his punishment is immediate and overwhelming.

He will eagerly move assets from his perceived enemies to his friends. 

Finally, he really loves to send out executive orders to the nation that cannot be easily be rescinded while he is in charge. 

UPDATE: One more hit me duuring the morning reading of the Megillah: They both sponsored beauty pageants!
