I was being sarcastic. Trump isn’t going to be the next Hannibal, Hannibal was one of the greatest military leaders in the history of the world. If Trump sends marines into Iran, they’re obviously all going to die. I don’t like Trump.

Hannibal is famous for invading the Roman homeland in Italy by crossing the alps and attacking from the north when Rome was expecting Carthage to attempt a naval invasion from the south. Hannibal is famous because he marched war elephants from Africa into Europe, through Spain, across a mountain range, and then down into Italy where he won battle after battle. He’s famous because crossing mountains like that in a war is a crazy thing to do and most people who try it don’t have nearly as much success as he did. However, he actually lost to Rome and he died by suicide when he was captured by Roman forces. But he’s still considered one of the best military commanders in the history of the world even though he lost.
The reason I said, "Trump might be the next Hannibal" was purely sarcastic. Trump isn’t a military genius like Hannibal was, and Hannibal didn’t even win by crossing mountains. I was basically saying maybe Trump will go down in history as the greatest loser.

And the fact that a guy who died more than 2,000 years ago is still famous for almost winning a war by crossing mountains should tell you something about how easy winning a war by crossing mountains is.

And when I said Hannibal was a military genius, he was. If you actually look into the second Punic war, there’s a reason why he’s famous even though he lost. He kept winning battles and made it all the way to Rome.
