That Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent has none of these traits? (Rhetorical)

In fact, Caligula is the exact opposite of every single one of those.

He’s a wuss. He folds under pressure/adversity. Hell, he’s too much of a coward to even fire someone face-to-face. He either fires someone via Xitter, or has one of his minions do it.

Wisdom? Shit. You have to be intelligent and add experiences to it. And he was never intelligent (one of his professors from Wharton said Caligula was the “dumbest goddamned student” he ever had.

Temperance? Forget it.

Justice? Laughable given his threats to go after political enemies with the DoJ and use the military against protesters.
