Damian Lewis plays Henry VIII in new British TV drama Wolf Hall.

Lewis plays Henry VIII in a new BBC series on UK television called Wolf Hall and said the monarch became “ever more paranoid, worried, disillusioned by the people around him”.

He added Henry VIII’s reformation of parliament in 1529, which gave him more control over the nation, meant “every whim of his, every impulse was legitimised through the legislative power of parliament”.

Lewis, 53, said this meant he could “essentially do what he wanted to do”.

He added: “I don’t know if that reminds you of anyone currently out there in the political forum.

“But we’ve seen what’s happened to the Supreme Court in America.”

Trump’s obsession with power has sparked comparisons with Tudor King.

Although he didn’t specifically name the president-elect, experts say Trump, 78, has helped shape the court by putting three of his appointees in it.

John Collins, a professor at George Washington University Law School, said: “Trump remade the federal judiciary in his first term. Now he has the opportunity to cement that vision for an entire generation.”

Meanwhile, RadarOnline.com revealed last weekend Trump’s upcoming administration is gearing up for “targeted operations” to deport illegal migrants starting from day one of his second presidency.

One of Trump’s first tasks is tackling immigration.

Homan said: “People say, well, it sounds awful cruel, you want to remove millions.

“Let me say this. You have a historic illegal immigration crisis where you have numbers we’ve never seen before, in the millions and millions, of illegal aliens released in this country (and) we know the vast majority will not get asylum, so they don’t qualify.”

The former head of ICE proposed using the U.S. military to aid in transportation, infrastructure building, and facilitating deportations.

While the military wouldn’t have arrest powers, they could assist in holding facilities and logistics to support the rising number of deportees.

Trump has openly spoken about immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the country and has floated the idea of invoking the Alien Enemies Act, an over 200-year-old law which allows the president to deport non-citizens who come from a country the U.S. is at war with.
