I was about to say, too well articulated for Trump. Almost had me.
He doesn’t write any of his posts, he calls some deluded intern, yells at them in dementaspeak what he wants to say, and they post it.
I figured as much. It was too coherent for a long sentence to be dementia donald.
Trump’s worldview is very similar to Hitler’s in many ways. The core similarity is that they both thought/think of everything in international relations as zero-sum.
There’s a lot to it that can’t be compressed into a readable Lemmy comment, but it’s pretty easy to find material.
They’re very similar.
They’re were both extremely damaged by emotional neglect in their childhoods, while ironically being treated as if they were superior in some way, and after being rejected by society (New York society in Trump’s case, art school in Hitler’s,) they lashed out instead of being introspective to correct their narcissistic repulsive behavior, and leaned hard into punishing all of the inferior peasants by being colossal entitled assholes.
Malignant Narcissistic Psychopathy 101.
A key difference: Hitler survived on battlefields where he could die a horrible death. Trump lacks the suffering and hardship required to understand what is at stake if he plays the fascist game badly. I think that is going to be a major reason in why Fascist America would lose in the long run, since it doesn’t value competency in any respect. Even the Nazis had some competencies, despite being evil dickheads.
While Hitler served, he was no war hero. Don’t glamorize him.
I am not. What I am saying is that he has experience with bloodshed, and the knowledge he could be a corpse if he played the wrong cards. Trump doesn’t understand consequences, because he has never truly risked anything.
I’m not interested in arguing about this, anymore. I’m done with it.
But you’re correct that Hitler had first hand knowledge of war, but I don’t see how that makes any real difference.
They are both raging narcissists who think they are “Special,” and deserve to be adulated, and worshiped.
If it were Trump, it would have said something more like:
You know the judges? Have you heard about these judges? Nasty people, these judges. You’ve never seen such judges before. I will put a stop to these judges.
“Don’t they know I’m special? I’m the baddest badass who ever badassed. The fuck’s their problem? I’ll give them a problem.”
You forgot ‘activist judges’ is their favourite
No body goes after judges like I do, let me tell you. These judgesssssss, nasty people head tilt to the left and we’re gonna put a stop to 'em head tilt to the right.
You forgot: makes accordion motions with his hands.
I have the best judges, that I can tell you.
Well lets be honest Trump can’t form sentences that are this coherent. Yet people still somehow dig it. I understand the appeal of a charismatic leader with a strong rhetoric but Trump? Come on guys.
everything he says is laundered and repackaged through an army of spin doctors to make it seem more convincing and articulate.
Hitler had Goebbels. one guy. with the rise of for profit, 24/7, ubiquitous social media, there’s now 10,000 Goebbels with their own podcast or content channel.
and because these apologists and sane-washers get paid by tech companies (in advertising/ clicks) they have incentives to keep churning it out without any direct orders from a central authority - “Smash that subscribe button!, we got weekly hot takes on what glorious leader actually meant when he said ‘death to my enemies!’”
I think a lot of people aren’t that coherent. They also just kind of wander from emotion to emotion, so Trump talks like they think.
The turd messiah
Omg, I thought those sentences were a little different from how he spoke, but I believed it.
I have to admit I was fooled, even though I"m sure Trump doesn’t know a word as big as evidently
I wouldn’t assume he even knows “shall.”
I’m not sure he can get “nation” out

I didn’t know it was Hitler but I knew after the first complete sentence that it wasn’t marmalade mussolini.
Zero chance he’s ever said anything that coherent.
Trump has people who can turn his demented ramblings into coherent texts so while this is certainly not something he’d come up with himself, it would be very in character for his administration.
Yeah, I genuinely thought that it was a excerpt of a press release from his regime. It would certainly be fitting to something that they would release and attribute to him.
At its most based level, this is fascism cliff notes plus dementia.
The worst part is, that’s how the majority of my generation passed school, and since we’re almost the youngest, we have the most.
“These crooked judges, who are never Trumpers, are CRIMINALLY GUILTY! Do you think, I have the best attorneys. They are really smart. They say to me, they say ‘Sir, how did you learn the law so much?’ You know I passed the bar? I could have been a lawyer. It’s true. We have the most wonderful law in the world and these ACTIVIST JUDGES think they are smarter than the American people?! I’m not allowed to say this because, you know, it’s not ‘politically correct’ but you know what I say? They are retards. Not very smart up there. I heard, you ready for this? Many of these lawyers only got into law school because their parents were, you know…DEI acceptance! That’s crazy! I will make the legal system proud again!”
I hate that I can’t tell if this is real
Hitler was a very good public speaker. Let’s give credit where credit is due.
Trump on the other hand… Is not.
The current trend in this comments section is full of praise for fucking Hitler for being better than Trump. And if there ever was a better reason to remove Trump from office I haven’t seen it.
Absolute insanity. This time line is so fucked.
That’s what’s so disappointing about the current fascist regime. I never doubted that fascism in America would be possible. I looked at Germany and Italy in the 1930s and thought:
“Yeah, I suppose if there’s a powerful public speaker who is able to project strength, that could work. Even though by now everything Nazi is associated with evil, I can still appreciate how they were really good at “set design” to show the appearance of competence and power.”
What I didn’t expect is that all the appearance of intelligence, competence and organization was all optional. Trump is clearly stupid, his lies are beyond obvious, his people are clearly not competent. His rallies don’t project strength. Instead of brownshirts in uniforms lined up in an orderly way, Trump has a chaotic gaggle of fat and/or old people wearing mismatched random American-flag based gear in a puddle near him. How is it that this is what Americans are falling for?
Trump is a great public speaker if you consider who his audience is.
Hitler was a very good public speaker.
Compared to Trump, sure. But no credit is due.
He was a very good mass murderer, if you feel the need to credit him with something.
Yes, it’s clear a person doesn’t need to be a good speaker to rile up people who want a free ticket to hate. I’d have agreed Hitler was a good speaker before Trump, but now I think we just assumed that was the case because we couldn’t fathom so many people being behind a bad one.
Hitler actually put a great deal of work and practice time into becoming a good public speaker. Can you imagine Trump putting that kind of effort into anything? Even golf?
The man does like golf though…
He certainly puts in the time. Effort though, that’s debatable. Effort in cheating perhaps.
I mean look at the rest. Isn’t it one of the baffling things about our times how easy it is to appeal to the masses with obviously idiotic takes. Maybe it’s nothing new.
Also I’m sure Hitler didn’t write his speeches.
Whether or not Hitler wrote his own speeches, at least he delivered them in a charismatic and competent way.
Trump just ad-libs nonsense.
He doesn’t even write his tweets, let alone his speeches.
Yeah I knew it was a lie after line 3, Trump doesn’t speak that well.
I don’t know about that. Seems like a lot of people like to hear Trump’s speeches. Then and now, there is but one constant: human stupidity in its sheer endlessness.

Trump’s statement after arresting Wisconsin judge:
"I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation…
From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour."
I lied, that was Hitler in 1942.
Especially when Lemmy now has a field to fill in alt text when posting.
Tell me more, please.
Who the fuck could ever believe trump could string together a statement like that? The guy is mentally defective.
Yeah that Hitler dude was a pretty clever cat compared to Trump.
A coherent idea has never been produced by the orange thumbs. Hitler at least could convey a basic idea in writing.
MAGA.
Sounded too eloquent for Trump.
The “shall” was a dead giveaway. And nothing was RANDOMLY CAPITALIZED!!!
Too obvious, Trump doesn’t speak that well.
Rollercoaster down hill in slow motion, hell yeah ☠️ We’re cooked, pressure them with protests
Trump could never speak that well. And what was Hitler doing arresting Wisconsin judges?
