Trump battles Biden by praising Hitler, threatening Medicare and promising to Free Seditionists
Donald Trump has his finger on the pulse of Red State - and that pulse is flat-lining when it comes to protecting America
[People, I’ve been suspended on Dailykos for two weeks because the Staff didn’t like the title of one of my diaries. Again. If you could do me a favor could you share your favorite post of mine on your social media to help me really get things going here on Substack. I suspect I won’t be writing on Kos for very much longer.
Thanks.]
So in his big counter-response to Joe Biden’s whirlwind State of the Union Trump figures what he needs to do is make fun of his stuttering, then we have repeated reports from his former Chief of Staff who says that Trump repeatedly praised Hitler.
Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly tells CNN that former President Donald Trump openly envied the late Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and the loyalty he supposedly inspired in subordinates.
In an interview with CNN, Kelly recounted how the former president would praise Hitler for his economic record while also saying he "did some good things" despite being one of the worst mass murderers in the history of the world.
"And I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing,’” Kelly told CNN. “I mean, Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.”
Trump also said that Hitler enjoyed "loyalty" from his top generals that the former president himself did not enjoy.
Kelly told CNN that he had to correct Trump on this misperception as well.
“He would ask about the loyalty issues and about how, when I pointed out to him the German generals as a group were not loyal to him, and in fact tried to assassinate him a few times, and he didn’t know that,” Kelly said. “He truly believed, when he brought us generals in, that we would be loyal — that we would do anything he wanted us to do."
Trump we already know, has a fetish for strongmen and dictators. He reportedly kept a copy of Hitler’s speeches on the table near his bed according to his late first wife.
A resurfaced Vanity Fair interview with Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana, revealed some surprising facts about the former president—including the fact that he kept a book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches in a cabinet by his bed. The 1990 anecdote is notable given Trump’s recent anti-immigrant rhetoric on the campaign trail, which President Joe Biden’s campaign has likened to the German leader. Ivana also said that an employee liked to greet Trump with a Hitler reference: “[W]hen he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, ‘Heil Hitler,’ possibly as a family joke,” the magazine’s Marie Brenner reported.
And there’s more.
On Friday at Mar-A-Lago Trump hosted Hungarian president Viktor Orbán, a Christian nationalist who has been described as a “neo-fascist dictator,” and “the Pimp of Putinism.”
He has been openly praising dictators in his rally speeches, as he did in this video from last year:
Yeah, fetish.
