Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte:

Donald Trump has not been coy about his desire to be remembered as the most powerful person to ever live. The 79-year-old president has been privately and publicly musing about his place in history as he serves his final term in the world’s most powerful office, a longtime confidant and senior administration officials told The Atlantic.
