Really, who does Trump remind you of?

[HappyJoy]

It's the closest resemblance to JFK, a head wound hair piece. JFK was inclusive and not an asshole.

Trump and Cruz believe in legal immigration, while Democrats believe in illegal border crossing. And yet they claim to be on the higher road?

lie.

Someone posed this question with zany horrible names like Hitler and Caligula. this is not productive. At this point in the elective cycle Hitler was only a clown with a silly mustache. hitler became the monster much later


Personally, I am sure Trump is a combination of Ross Perot, out there to throw the election to Hillary., and Baron Munchausen, a clown to make people talk about him. he has no intention of being president. he is making sure of that by his grandiose style.

He reminds me of the bear butt thumping Decaprio in The Revenant. You Libtards have no chance. Lay back and enjoy it.

And you even lie about a movie. How pathetic.

 

[SmokeALib]

He reminds me of the next president of the United States.

Cheap drivel disguised as a political discussion. No surprises here from the low information left.

I applaud your inclusion of PT Barnum. There's a sucker born every minute. (although that quote may be mis-attributed to him)

Yo, JFK was the only Democrat I ever liked in the Democrat Party, until the Socialist took that Party over!

George Washington except he doesn't make whiskey.

In the 70s the Republican Party realized it had the following messaging problem.

How can we reduce the tax and regulatory burden of the donor class, especially given the postwar consensus for Big Government (which includes labor laws for a "living wage", infrastructure investment, subsidies for affordable education and a whole universe of policies that lowered the middle class cost of living - from housing subsidies to anti-trust legislation to transportation subsidies and Fed policies that stimulated the economy during downturns in order to maintain high employment).

In short, in order for wealthy people to extract more benefits and resources from Washington (in order for them to turn Washington into a subsidy and bailout machine for concentrated wealth), they had to convince Americans that government was evil and incompetent - thus undermining government's ability to tax & regulate.

Meaning: in order to re-educate citizens and alter longstanding institutions, the Rightwing created the most powerful and well-funded network of Think Tanks & Media Assets in American History.

Huge incentives were bestowed on anyone who could convince Americans that their Government - which just defeated the Nazis, put a man on the moon and built the most technologically advanced industrial infrastructure in world history - was evil and incompetent.

Not only did they produce an arsenal of paid-for-facts and talking points, but they attracted people to the movement using the culture war (values, religion, patriotism, race and revanchism, e.g., your country has been stolen by "outsiders", and those outsiders have infected your party - therefore we need a straight talking savior who is going to kick Washington's Ass and make it work again...).

Trump has harvested this anger. He doesn't need to know policies or stand for anything in particular. He need only mimic the anti-government rhetoric that the Rightwing Machine has spent 30 years creating. In a more perfect union, the voter would smell bullshit.

It shows the dishonesty and demagoguery of the Left that they would even mention Hitler in the same breath with Trump. Trump has long been ardently pro-Israeli, has close family members who are Orthodox Jews, and has received awards from American Jewish groups for his staunch support of Israel.

So for anyone to compare Trump to Hitler is just obscenely stupid and dishonest.

 

[HenryBHough]

Now that the subject has come up.....

And after some reflection......

Trump reminds me of Harry S Truman before he (Truman) sold out.

Truman was the last U.S. President to understand that wars are to be won. Were Trump, as we know him, in Truman's position at the time of World War II, you can bet he'd be the only one among today's contenders with balls to do what Truman did. End the fucking war with a bang.

Of course that's you progressives so despise both Truman and Trump.

 

[blackhawk]

In a lot of ways he reminds me of Obama.

 

[Kondor3]

Benito Mussolini.

Same arrogant look.

Pay attention. The analogy to Hitler isn't about anti-semitism, it's about eerily similar appeals to a fear and xenophobia and nationalism. However. I agree with you. The analogy fails on too many fronts. Hitler relied far more on religious rhetoric, and was infinitely more literate on policy. Secondly, Hitler's biography shows that he was deeply opposed to liberal tolerance for his entire adult life. Trump's intolerance and uber-Patriotism seems to be a fairly recent phenomena.
