Chrump is doing the only thing he knows how to do, doubling down, this time with the violent-sounding fascist talk, channeling everyone’s favorite führer.  He’s apparently at it again with the inflammatory Hitler quotes, immigrants poisoning of the blood and soil of the Fatherland, the lügenpresse (fake news,) enemy of the people, and his usual fawning tributes to Putin, Kim, Xi and Orbán. ,

Non-Nazi readers of history tend to get alarmed By Hitlerian rhetoric, which is used, with trolling delight, to divide a democratic nation into Us and Them and create a villain class of Other that can be assailed with violent hatred, with the government’s blessing. The meat and potatoes of any good fascist movement, the appeal to gang violence and hatred of homosexuals, strong-minded women, immigrants, moderates, the opposition, intellectuals, minority religions and ethnic groups, principled members of the clergy, the media etc. The White House put out a good statement in reply to this naked Hitler talk. It has to be reiterated every time this sick fuck sings Hitler to his cheering fans.

The White House today responded to Trump’s speech. White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said: “Echoing the grotesque rhetoric of fascists and violent white supremacists and threatening to oppress those who disagree with the government are dangerous attacks on the dignity and rights of all Americans, on our democracy, and on public safety…. It’s the opposite of everything we stand for as Americans.”
