be honest!
I recently bought Madeleine Albright's audio book "Fascism: A Warning." I highly recommend it, btw. Trump seems to be intentionally parroting the tactics of Mussolini; with the caveat that Mussolini wasn't racist. In that regard, a certain German contemporary of Mussolini's is more the role model. Finally, the arrogance of a spoiled rich kid makes him a bit like fictional Mr. Burns, --especially the baffoonish cartoonish aspects. But he is more Mussolini than the rest.
Trump closely resembles the Christian god:
Obsessed with being personally praised (almost every Psalm, especially 98-101, 136)
Small minded & petty (Deuteronomy 21:11-12)
Cruel (Deuteronomy 20:16-17)
Sexist (Ephesians 5:22-24)
Demands absolute conformity (Matthew 5:48 )
Hates being questioned (Romans 9:19-20)
Discriminates against the children of immigrants (Deuteronomy 23:3)
Homophobic (Deuteronomy 23:1)
Exercises extreme punishment against anyone who does not believe in him (John 3:18, Jeremiah 19:9, Lamentations 2:20 & 4:10).
I could go on, but you get the idea. To a conservative Christian, Trump acts like their god. That's why they like him so much.
well done list !
I agree that is a nice list you got there
He is a little Mussolini crossed with Herman Goring.
Bingo- you win the prize. I knew neither of the horrors of the 20th century personally, but my mother used to talk about them. Right from the start, Trump reminded me of Hermann Goering.
@Spinliesel including the lampshades made from human skin?
@AnneWimsey That was later into his career!
@Spinliesel so I guess just give it time? Of course they will be tan lampshades. I am becoming partial to Orange hairy ones, myself
Tammy Faye only wore about 25 pounds of makeup. Trump has a spray on tan ("a gallon a day keeps me orange all day" ) and the worlds worst (and most obvious) comb over.
I understand there is some hair missing in the back. If he was a poor man he would look worse. If all that hair is a wig I'd like to see the wind blow it off.
Jabba the Hut or Darth Vader. Or rich Biff Tannan from Back to the Future 2.
I think Trump reminds me of Bill Cutty from the Gangs of New York, as he trys to defend his territory from the vile Democrats. I can just see Trump/Bill up on stage asking his followers whether they wanted chops or muton ? All Trump needs really is a top hat and cigar.
You're all just jealous of the man. He's a stud.
barf ...
Did you just bark at me?
I didn't vote, Adolph Hitler is not on your list.
