Andrew Harnik / Getty ImagesDespite declining approval ratings, Ben-Ghiat argued in a guest essay for the New York Times that the president is making the age-old error of believing his own hype. “I have seen this brand of strongman megalomania and the adverse effects it can ultimately have on leaders and their governments,” wrote Ben-Ghiat, the author of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present.
