He's not Hitler but he likes to use Hitler's hateful language.
The former president’s Truth Social account posted a video posing the question “What happens after Donald Trump wins?” and providing a possible answer: In the background was the phrase “unified Reich.”
This follows Trump’s echoing Adolf Hitler in campaign speeches, saying that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” and calling his opponents “vermin.”
And that, in turn, followed Trump’s dining at Mar-a-Lago with high-profile antisemite Ye (Kanye West) and white supremacist leader Nick Fuentes, who likened incinerating Jews to baking cookies.
Under the three-Reichs-and-you’re-out rule, Trump should be on the bench. Yet he keeps swinging — and this week provided a sobering measure of how numb we have become to his undeniably fascist rhetoric.https://wapo.st/4dMSDpTWhy is Trump working so hard at courting the neo-Nazi, fascist, anti-Semitic, racist vote? He's already go that sewed up.

Throwback Thursday:
In light of Trump's claims to have no knowledge of anything Hitler ever wrote or said, never owned any book in that vein.... it seemed to me I read something to the contrary long ago and, not surprisingly, it's another Trump lie.
In 1990, Vanity Fair published a lengthy article about the Trumps.....long before he became a political animal, before writers were labeled shills for the left or right.
".... 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.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)

Ahh, so it wasn't a Jew that gave him the speeches book. I knew about the book, and there have been videos circulating where they close caption Hitler's speeches. It's a good thing Trump was incompetent at being President and we can't afford another term.
