Currently re-reading the Wolf Hall trilogy. Henry VIII was a very trump like character- kind of fascinated that the vast majority of courtiers (ie people in his close orbit we know the names of) ended up executed. (& some that survived were executed by subsequent monarchs) The idea of being so lured by power that even knowing it's odds on you will be killed for it - it's somehow still worth having? can't really get my head around that
