Conservative analyst and commentator Bill Kristol said on Sunday that President Trump’s anti-Trump video tweet was “recapitulating the decline and fall of Rome.”

Earlier Sunday, POTUS tweeted a Reddit video clip altering a 2007 clip from Wrestlemania of the president and body-slamming and punching WWE CEO Vince McMahon, but with McMahon’s face replaced by a CNN logo.

The tweet has evoked harsh criticism from both sides of the aisle for its violent and angry imagery aimed at the press, which is referred to as the “fourth estate” of the government.

“The speed with which we’re recapitulating the decline and fall of Rome is impressive. What took Rome centuries we’re achieving in months,” wrote Kristol, who served as Vice President Dan Quayle’s chief of staff to during George H.W. Bush’s presidency.

Most of Kristol’s followers seem to agree with his comparison.

I’m confused. Even after everything, I still cannot believe this would be posted from the President’s account. What. Is. Happening? – William Meservy (@WilliamMeservy) July 2, 2017

Rome fell because the Senate was too weak and too scared to oust a tyrant.

And too well bribed. Weak men toppled Rome. – Laffmotron (@laffmotron) July 2, 2017
