He's more and more turning into Trump minus the dementia. In Germany we have the term "Cäsarenwahn", for when someone loses touch with reality from having too much unchallenged power. Haven't found any English equivalent so maybe it's time for another loan word.
Is that derived from caesar as in a Roman emperor? Because that's pretty cool if it is.
Yes. It literally means "lunacy of ceasars". Ancient Rome had plenty of examples.
I love it. German has some terrific words.
Megalomania?
Yeah, that is what all of the major dictionaries are translating it as.
use that word on the Internet and it'll be confused with megalovania
Metroidvania?
Caesar's wank?
He is 100% going to run for president at some point unless something stops him from thinking he has a chance.
