Top White House political strategist Steve Bannon once reportedly compared himself favorably to Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin -- and a new report suggests he thinks of himself as a modern-day Napoleon Bonaparte as well.
New York Magazine reports that Bannon has a painting hung from his office wall of himself "dressed as Napoleon in his study at the Tuileries, done in the style of Jacques-Louis David’s famous neoclassical painting."
The painting was apparently a gift from Nigel Farage, the nationalist U.K. politician who was a leading figure in the successful campaign to get his country to leave the European Union last year.
In the past, Bannon has whose chief desire was to completely destroy the American state. So far, however, Bannon has made no public pronouncements explaining any affinity he might have for Napoleon.
