Who is the Greatest, Mohammed Ali or Donald Trump?

 "I am the greatest," said Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest -- if not the greatest -- boxers of all time. "Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee."

Ali could back up his boastful, arrogant words. But, what of the current champion of such proud and boastful language? Can Donald Trump back up his words?

Yes, I said Donald Trump. And, if you don't know it, he has, indeed, proclaimed himself the greatest president of all time. "In the history of our country, nobody has done more than I have." "The most presidential person ever," "He's got me down as the greatest president in the history of our country," he once said, basking in the statement of a pundit, "including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln."

"I am going to be the greatest job president that God ever created. Remember that."

"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country," he said, drawing a sprinkling of laughter from the audience.

"The greatest president of all."

Then, there are the pundits who agree with him:

"A man brave enough to stare down the sun."

"Not just America's greatest president, but the greatest leader of every country in the history of the world."

Float like a  butterfly, sting like a bee? His words are not beautiful, to me, but they do sting.
