Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’ | The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening.
Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’
In case you had any doubts about his fascism.
Jesus fucking Christ.
So, for starters, that's about as openly fascist as you can get.
Secondly... Hitler kinda... you know... was famous for firing or otherwise disposing of his generals because they would push back against his insane plans and orders... almost always because they were simply practically infeasible, unlikely to work, countermanded previous orders that were already in progress, caused confusion and logistics disasters...
...which fucking caused the Nazis to lose.
A few of them even tried to kill Hitler, recognizing his total incompetence as a raving, drug addled military supreme commander would doom the Nazis, and all of Germany, to obliteration.
Per the article, somebody tried telling Trump this:
According to Baker and Glasser, Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” This correction did not move Trump to reconsider his view: “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president responded.
Probably went and listened to everybody's favorite patriotic pro-America song "Born in the U.S.A." afterward too.
I'm really worried about the future of the country. I live in deep red Louisiana and all of my family and friends are hardcore Trumpers so I can't discuss any of my concerns. My vote won't matter so all I can do is hold out hope that Harris/Walz can take the swing states.
Yeah, those of us living outside swing states are basically limited to kicking in money and volunteer time. I'm lucky in that I was able to catch a bus to a swing state this past weekend, and spend a couple days knocking on doors.
Good on you!
I am surprised that you are still in contact or friends with any hardcore trumpers. Those are toxic people.
Stay strong.
Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Later that day, he was still agitated. “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.”
Poor Vanessa, everything that happened to her is just horrible
'Don't pay it.' One of his most used sentences.
And complaining about being ripped off? Well, he ought to know about that.
Hitler's generals also noted his concerning drug habit and constant shit scent
I was going to say, "Didn't this happen when he was in office too?" because I was getting serious deja vu, but then I started reading the article and it turns out that they're talking about the same incident.
We already knew this, but it's good to remind people with all the absurdities that occur every day that this nutjob is still alive.
It's pretty clear that there were multiple incidents while he was in office
Holy fuck he actually said the H-Word?
Stuff like this is why Godwin's Law has been dead for a long time now.
Pay wall
He loves dictators so much.
Must be hard trying to do your job when the fry cook next to you is praising Hitler's generals.
I’m over her trying to fix the shake machine and this dude’s going off about Goebbels
Oh, that's why it isn't fixed.
I first read that as "genitals" because that's 100% the kind of shit he says.
That'd be Arnold Palmer's, though. Just a completely toxic workplace all coming from one clown.
Hitler's genitals? What size genitals did Hitler have, on a scale from zero to Arnold Palmer?
I read it as “generals” the first time, but after reading these comments, now I only read “genitals” when I glance at the headline.
That's demeaning to actual fry cooks. Can we at least put it in quotes? "fry cook"
