His skull was also used in a Greek play (it was after Alexander)

I don't care how anymore, as long as he just dies

The name suits him!

I personally equate Trump more to Caligula than Crassus, but you raise a good point.

Check out Ivan the Terrible.

Yeah. The Persians HATED Crassus.

So the only difference is drinking molten gold? 🤔
TomWest61
"...forced to drink molten gold and dies." The is the wet dream of one dump man.
Antrobus55
Trump would volunteer to drink molten gold.

How the hell can you rank this turd as "elite" of any kind?
nybrasse
For the record, he died in battle. They poured molten gold down his throat after he died to mock him.

malachilenomade
He's dumb enough that the idea of drinking gold would probably appeal to him so I say LET'S GET THAT FOUNDRY GOING!

Crassus vs. CrassAss

That would be a crazy end.
Ilurklikekirk
How fitting the comparison: The man from whence the term, "crass" derives, held up against a modern day example. I suggest that upon the passing of the Golden Ghoul, we also derive a new term in his honour: Crasshole
sirbartonslady
Wow way to do Crassus dirty. EVEN HE doesn't deserve this.

Crassus: Made his fortune by running a privatized fire department where he would show up to a fire and would refuse to put it out until the owner sold the property for a fraction of its value. Then he would have slaves rebuild the buildings to be rented out or sold.

Trump: Inherited his father's real estate empire and has used that wealth to start a number of separate, now-defunct businesses such as casinos, a university, and mail-order steaks. He is also known for hiring contractors and refusing to pay and even stole from a charity for children.
akafluffy
Notorious for hating Mexican immigrants, all his merch is made in Mexico and all his properties are run by cheap foreign labour under the table.
SinStar87
Not the whole truth, he inherited a small part of his wealth from his father and got much more from sullan proscriptions. Then invested it into a private fire department for extortion. A small loan of millions of dollars as it were.

Crassus went to war with the Parthians, not Iran.
Resistance1000
SinStar87
lots of countries have names different from what the inhabitants of it do. E.g. Germany's called Germany here but Deutschland there.
Telemapus
The Parthians were AN Iranian people, but they weren't Persians. It's like calling Canadians "Americans". Technically true, Canada is a country in the Americas. And to outsiders, they even look pretty much the same. And the culture has a lot of similarities. But still... they ain't Americans.
SinStar87
Persians were a different group of iranian people, from pars region of iran. Differing from iranian parthians who hailed from the parthia region. Seems more like saying monroe was an ohio president rather than president of the us.
ignoremejustlurkingaround
Parthians is what the Romans called them, we dont know how they called themself. For certain not parthians because the parthians were just one of many groups. It is still the most common name for the empire, tho modern science prefers the name arsacid dynasty.
What is now modern Iran was the heartland of said empire and what is called "greater iran" is kinda the old "parthian empire".
So as a strong simplification i would accept calling it iran, kinda difficult to pack all that into a meme
ShoopDeDoop
Well, I guess we should say "The Piscataway Conoy is the strongest nation. How would Iran match us?" then, since that was what was there before it was Washington DC.
ignoremejustlurkingaround
One would usualy take the modern name, so people know what region is meant. It's because modern names are more commonly known than ancient ones.
One could also explain it in the meme, but as interesting as the parthians might be for some, knowing them has absolutly no value for ~99.9% of the population. Didnt help me yet at all.
Memes are often simplified, because usualy they are more about the message than the exact facts. Naturally, opinions about what and how to simplify vary for everyone.

Yeah, Croesus was the one who went to war against Persia:

I feel like they could hand the orange idiot a cup of molten gold and just tell him he was drinking gold, and he would do it
happywalker
gold is heavy and he struggles with a glass of water
allhailthegreatmoose
With as much as that pos loves gold, you’re probably right
BarryTheCyborg
Hell, even a cup of warm Velveeta might be enough to finally close up those arteries. It's liquid gold!
CyrilConnolly
Marcus Crassus was also a lot smarter than Trump, because he knew his own limitations and backed Julius Caesar, like a true oligarch would. Trump is so deranged that he thinks he’s as competent as Caesar used to be.
CornwindEvil
Caesar? Trump thinks he's Jupiter.

He might be convinced if he was told It would get amazing ratings.

Well he does love golden things 🙂

Yes but with all the fake plastic gold he keeps slapping all over the parts of the White House he has not destroyed.
halliemeinecke
Sadly most is just cheap paint that cant be scraped off and melted down. Maybe we just hold a rattle can of gold paint to his face until he suffocates? Hmmmm....

I like the molten gold part…. I’d like to see that
truthader
Isn’t there a bunch of gold laying around his office?….
Resistance1000
More likely to be cans of gold spraypaint. But still OK with me to pour that down his throat.
truthader
Melted down (whatever it is) or…?
BobaFettApproves
… you found me … clever girl

Gold spray paint fresh from the can with the molten-down can as a chaser
