Devout fascist admirers devout fascist. Impossible to see this one coming. Absolutely no way. Water makes some things it contacts wet. Documentary coming 1st Q 2025. Watch explosive trailer.
- Speaking of explosive trailers, I'm not gonna finish that thought since this comment would be removed if I did.. #PlausibleDeniability
Didn't some of Hitlers Generals try to assassinate him? Does Trump feel hurt the US military isn't trying to kill him?
- Five separate serious attempts, I reckon? Might have been as many as 20 altogether.
I cannot comprehend how this guy is favoured 52-48 to win.
- 52% odds of winning on 538 is not really favored. 538 itself calls that even odds. A 2% difference is noise from polling
  
  Also keep in mind that the 538 odds have been heavily influenced lately by right wing aligned groups flooding the average. The polling from higher quality groups hasn't really changed all that much, still largely suggesting Harris with a slight lead
  
  I cannot comprehend how it isn't an absolute Harris 90%+ landslide. Her opponent is literally wannabe Hitler!
  
  I think you got mixed up in the details and missed the point.
pretends to be shocked
Apart from the yes men, the political appointees and the fanatics, Hitler was universally hated by his generals.
- Yeah, but there was a difference between the two sets.
  
  The generals under Hitler saw Hitler as a useful idiot that would fund the military after decades of neglect.
  
  The generals under Trump saw Trump as a strategic liability, undermining American soft power in a way that undermined their hard power.
Coked-up narcissist admires methed-up psychopath. Go figure.
You mean the guy who kept Mein Kampf on his bedside table likes Hitler? I'm shocked!
- His exwife claims it was a book of Hitler's speaches, which makes more sense considering I don't think Trump has the attention to read a real book.
Its obviously because Trump isnt a painter

He still has time to do that maybe. He will have to quit politics for 4 years, but being extremely healthy means he will be fine
