It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk
He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

Just a reminder that Hitler originally came to power by promising to make Germany great again.
Trump wanted US military generals to emulate generals of the third Reich and treat him like he was Hitler:
It turned out that the generals had rules, standards, and expertise, not blind loyalty. The President’s loud complaint to John Kelly one day was typical: “You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?”
“Which generals?” Kelly asked.
“The German generals in World War II,” Trump responded.
“You do know that they tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off?” Kelly said.
But, of course, Trump did not know that. “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the President replied. In his version of history, the generals of the Third Reich had been completely subservient to Hitler; this was the model he wanted for his military. Kelly told Trump that there were no such American generals, but the President was determined to test the proposition.

Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, “Heil Hitler,” possibly as a family joke.
Trump seems to aspire to be Hitler-like, and he even tried to take supreme dictatorial power through populism, lies and propaganda like Hitler did.
Y'all libs better pull your head out your ass, get armed with whatever you think you can handle, learn safety and train.
Remember last month when Hamas invaded Israel? There was a man at that music festival quoted saying, "All I could think was I wished I had some way to fight back. I felt so helpless."
And that's a nation where military service is compulsory and they get to take their battle rifle home.
Armed and peaceful or unarmed and harmless. Pick one.
And if you find that distasteful, take a WWII European history class and get back to me.
He's right the threat is coming from within. It's him and the GQP and their fascist policies.
You may want to re-evaluate your outrage. The left and right are both guilty of using dehumanizing language against their opposition. This is far from “Straight up Nazi talk”. I look forward to your rational and well thought out replies.

Which one of these people were president, the de facto leader of a major us political party, and had the ability to change the path of the nation?
Both sides doesn't hold a thimble of water when you compare the fucking former president with random Twitter posters.
You're getting buried for saying it out loud, but it's a fair point.
No, some random person I've never heard of carries anything like the weight of a former President and current candidate.
Yes, liberals are A-OK with this talk as long as it's coming from their team.
Me? At this point I'm "gloves off" with these fucking conservatives. No more goddamned "high road" for me. I'll be happy to punch below the belt.
We American's are in the fight of our lives and liberals don't realize it's a fight, and they're losing.
Pearls firmly clutched: "Whatever shall we do about these encroaching fascists?"
Honey, the fascists aren't coming. They're already here. You can board the train or fight back. Pick one.
While I disagree with some of your points I respect your opinion and appreciate your reply. I think language is an important thing in our society, and we must choose our words carefully, now more than ever. I think any call to violence regardless of the political leanings of the speaker is the wrong choice. I agree that a former presidents words will reach more ears, however those words and actions should be weighed equally for all. Thank you for replying!
Oh yes, the Nazis: famous supporters of Israel
First they came for the Transgendered and I did not speak up because I was not Transgendered….replace transgendered with whatever you like, immigrants, gays, liberals, conservatives. No one should be treated as less than human just because you disagree with them.
