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.
"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
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.
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.
I have the best judges, that I can tell you.
You forgot: makes accordion motions with his hands.
You forgot ‘activist judges’ is their favourite
"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."
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 thought he was using GPT 2?
I figured as much. It was too coherent for a long sentence to be dementia donald.
Too obvious, Trump doesn't speak that well.
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!'"
The turd messiah
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.
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.
MAGA.
A coherent idea has never been produced by the orange thumbs. Hitler at least could convey a basic idea in writing.
I have to admit I was fooled, even though I"m sure Trump doesn't know a word as big as evidently
I'm not sure he can get "nation" out
I wouldn't assume he even knows "shall."
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.
Edit: Oh, and if I wasn't clear, Fuck Hitler.
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.
Both of them staged a failed insurrection as well.
Rollercoaster down hill in slow motion, hell yeah ☠️ We're cooked, pressure them with protests
That's far too well spoken for trump.
If it doesn't look like it could be written on a shit and ketchup smeared sticky note in crayon, it's unfortunately gonna be pretty obvious.
I thought that sounded a bit too well spoken to be this fucking guy.
Not that I mean to give anything remotely representing a compliment to that other guy, of course.
Omg, I thought those sentences were a little different from how he spoke, but I believed it.
The problem with the judiciary is that it never really had any teeth. It was just there to protect rich people and give the appearance of checks and balances. I mean, we keep impeaching these presidents, but I never see anything happen. And now Trump, supposedly a felon, is now the president. Also, I'm old enough to know that the quality of President continues to diminish, and I think that's a reflection of our society as a whole. People are getting dumber and they are not capable of discerning a good speaker who thinks rationally versus somebody who is just impulsive, reactionary and just tells them what they want to hear. Like I know if I'm completely left to my own devices I'm gonna make stupid mistakes. That's why I like laws and justified hierarchies. in more of a lateral and less hierarchical structure. I also emphasize the importance of clear communication because most of the world's problems and conflicts are based upon people who know very little. And that's why they're used as dildos for the state.. But at the same time as a libertarian socialist i think we, the people, need more liberty. And capitalism does not provide us with this. Also. What is free will, really? Relative to the hierarchy, the natural hierarchy, we are all bound by laws. Despite all my rage, I am still a rat in a cage. Sorry for my navel gazing. I was just thinking out loud.
It's a bit sudden. Has he started evicting judges from office yet?
Yes.
Good.
No one is above the law, even a judge.
