Saturday, July 12, 2025

The president's casual cruelty to his cabinet reveals echoes of 1930s Germany, says The Daily Beast's Chief National Correspondent David Gardner.

Trump is not an ideologue. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. Trump wrote The Art of the Deal (or his ghostwriter did). But he is an emboldened president.

Yeah, Trump is Hitler. Or Idi Amin. Or Pol Pot. Or (fill in the blank).

He's still a relatively weak dictator now, but if he and his criminal allies get their way then we're going to realize what should already be clearly seen---That places like Alligator Alcatraz are meant for everyone.

Trump is Ruining this Nation. His brain dead deplorables are maybe 20%, the Fellow Traveller's another 5-10 %.

Just enough to destabilize this country. Just Like a Third World dusty land of people with pictures of their leader everywhere.

Not Special...All Too Commonplace.

Latin America is Full of Bozo's like This.
