Adolf Hitler claimed the right to remove inferior races who breed like vermin. Hitler condemned those who were poisoning the blood of Nazi Germany. He called undocumented immigrants animals. He described those who opposed him as the enemy within and scum, and used the military to arrest and imprison them. And he promised to his aggrieved followers that he would be their retribution for perceived injustices against them.
The similarities between the words and the thoughts of Hitler and Donald Trump are undeniable, and as clear as the recorded oratory of the former Nazi dictator and the possible future American dictator.
Ivana Trump, the late ex-wife whom Trump cheated on with Marla Maples, once testified under oath that Trump always had a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” on his bed stand. If that does not give one pause to want to risk Trump regaining unchecked power, nothing else will.
