Why do all of his speeches sound like they were pulled straight from the nazis?
"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.
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, 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. "
I was thinking exactly the same thing and then I saw your comment. I bet even Trump can’t believe how far he has gotten basically saying the same type of crazy shit Hitler used to say. Trump is really calling to the baser instincts of a disturbingly large group of people.
It is incredibly dangerous, and so bizarre to witness it happening again, not as a historical narrative, but in real time.
From what I’m reading Hitler was a lifelong passion for Trump. Sure he might not have read it recently, but at one point, even if it’s was 20 years ago, he wasn’t mentally deranged. If he actually did read them “from time to time” over the years, that’s easily a dozen. And usually people remember things better if they find it interesting, so even someone with memory issues would be able to paraphrase and recite something they’ve heard a dozen times, especially if that was their passion.

Oh yeah, that’s why. Thanks vanity fair.
I mean he did all but use the phrase “blood and soil.” No surprise he’s copying off shitler’s notes.
What did those folks say back at the Unite The Right rally? The one that Trump said had good people on both sides at?

There’s a reason Germany banned shit like this. It worked then, it works now and it’ll work in the future.
True.
Again, he’s not subtle.
He’s literally Dwight from that episode where Jim teaches Dwight how to deliver a speech.
He isn’t smart enough to know the historical paradigm of dictator’s speeches himself.
I wanna know who his Jim is.
Blood alone moves the wheels of history!!!
