In a three-part article to his tanking Truth Social, the comparison was made to a South African leader who served 27 years before removing apartheid.

Trump has compared himself to figures like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, as well as visually stunning stars like Elvis Presley.

We live in a world totally different from our own creation, so much so that we are never more alive than when we're dreaming. Our imaginations are pushed to a point beyond what is not possible during our wake-up life: Our minds are bursting with cerebral excitement: seeing vividly, feeling deeply, and moving freely.

According to Hamas' list of prisoners exchanges for Israeli hostages, a convicted Palestinian terrorist convicted of five murders is likely to be at the top of the list. Marwan Barghouti, a veteran West Bank king who was jailed in 2002 for murder, is known as the 'Palestinian Nelson Mandela' to his followers and is seen as the catalyst in Gaza's ceasefire.

Following the deadly October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, South African leaders met Hamas militants on official visits to their country, according to The Mail on Sunday. In December, a Hamas delegation traveled to South Africa, at a time when even Arab countries were distancing themselves from the jihadist organisation, which killed nearly 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped about 250 others during the atrocity. According to Israeli reports, Hamas leaders' trip revealed the 'easy' relationship South Africa has had with the group over the years, which, according to the reports, explains why the ANC-led government decided to accuse Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice last week.
