Hang on... Trump? JUSTINIAN I!?! I have to process this a
  little. Wait... no.. .. .. no no. I can see what they were
  shooting for in this meme... but... no. Gotta lose the baseball
  cap here. Nope. Nope. Almost got me here but nope. Ok. Justinian
  I -was- a prolific builder. Also, we wouldn't have the
  tremendous historians either. Plus, thanks to his efforts, the
  Eastern Roman Empire continued... and he *did* manage to
  politically avert a schism of East and West by stepping into
  theological debates - an aversion to schism that managed to
  continue for another 500 years 'til the Great Schism ... so
  that's certainly a very noteworthy achievement.
  But... yeah... he was a tad intrusive. Ok.. he was MORE than a
  tad intrusive. Yet, is it fair to put today's standards upon the
  decisions of a leader from 1500 years ago? I suppose one could.
  It's certainly tempting to do so. But is it historically fair or
  accurate to do so? I dunno. But Trump is no Justinian I. Nope.
  Gotta lose the baseball cap. I see what they were shooting for
  in the meme and I suppose it's cute - it got my attention..but
  nope - can't go with it.
