I got to say his interview on the John Stewart podcast a while back made me a teeny bit nervous. He talked about power a lot in a somewhat fascistic framing. Of course a lot of the other things he was talking about was fantastic. But there is that nagging doubt in the back of my mind about him. I really can't say.
I will say I certainly don't believe any of his excuses for the tattoo, and he completely dodged the topic on that interview.
I find it very hard to trust someone in any sort of leadership position who says they loved war, he said that people needed to die because he believed his way of life was the correct one, there have been a few different quotes where he mentions enjoying combat. And a literal Nazi emblem as a tattoo. How the fuck is he even being discussed as someone to elect in any sort of position at all?
