Is he unable or does he just rip off Hitler because it seems to be working for him?
Remains to be seen. Mostly full-on bloviation at this point.
Both, and also he just loves Hitler and everything he stood for.
Oh, it is working magnificently. Dictator talk has always been big among a poor, desperate, ignorant populace as it makes it sound so comforting to be a select group and to have ridged rules against all others - it never works that way, but never mind that.
I hope the Americans realise that they will be electing their death certificate if it’s this clown.
Some of us do. I fear not enough this time.
I’m sure most of us who are on Lemmy are all too aware of it. But man, you should see what some of our neighbors are like!
Nothing we can do. We can try to explain to his supporters but they are so brainwashed it’s futile. The only one who can save us are the courts trying to lock him up, and we know how swift the justice system is here.
It’s ok, because he’ll get a lot of foreigners killed, too.
I think he’s just regressing to early childhood. I bet his KKK-associated dad played recordings of Hitler’s speeches
He apparently reads Hitler’s speeches in bed. Has a book of them on his nightstand.
I find this highly unlikely as I say Trump is barely literate.
It’s ok cuz the book was given to him by a Jew. (It wasn’t, but he said it was in an interview and it turns out that the gift-giver’s name has “Gold” in it, so the Nazi-flavored Cheeto assumed he was a Jew)
Goldie Wilson III?
Goldust
I don’t even care if you made that up right now. I believe it lol
Prior to eviction laws, Papa Trump would plan to tear down slum apartment buildings, but allow black families to move in. Then kick them all out the day of demolition, without warning. The Trumps and Kushners have all always been literal psychopaths.
Can Hitler’s estate sue him for copyright theft?
You joke but there’s no Hitler’s Estate. His progeny decided not to procreate and essentially all died out after WW2.
Holy shit so he didn’t go back in time to kill Hitler, he went to the future and killed future Hitler.
That’s why Trump is taking up the mantle
That sounds like a fun twist to some hilariously bad WW2 fan-fiction
Hitler had no ‘progeny’. That word means descendants, not descendants of siblings or cousins. Well ignoring some completely unproved allegations about some children from affairs that is.
And there are still some living descendants of Hitler’s siblings. His older half brother Alois had two kids, the younger died during the war and the elder, William, didn’t get on with Uncle Hitler so moved to the UK before the war. He later moved to the US and joined the US Navy in 1944. He changed his surname to Stuart-Houston and had four children, one of which is dead but the other three are still alive and childless.
His older half sister Angela married Leo Raubal and had three kids. Two of them had a child each who are still alive. Dunno if either of those have any kids.
As to his estate it’s a bit complicated, and I know it’s reddit but askhistorians is a good place and there’s a good overview of Hitler’s estate here: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/9kv001/what_happened_to_hitlers_bank_account/e72gd8l/
Don’t link reddit. There’s no Hitler Estate.
“Five months after her death, the Federal Court in Berchtesgaden issued a certificate of inheritance in which Paula Hitler was awarded two-thirds of Hitler’s estate.[2]”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Hitler
Or is Wikipedia also not allowed?
I do indeed joke.
Maybe Trump’s family will follow the same lead.
They legally changed names
I said there’s no Hitler estate.
Hitler has always been Donald J. Tramps role model I imagine…
There have been rumors for years that he keeps a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside. He also has spoken glowingly of how various dictators keep their populace in line.
Of course, by himself Trump is too clumsy to install a dictatorship. If it was just him, I’d predict a second Trump term would involve a lot of bad stuff, but no outright dictatorship as he’d get distracted by some Twitter/X/Truth Social feud.
However, once you add in Project 2025 and similar people who would likely have roles in Trump’s second administration, then things get truly scary. They admire dictators too and they are capable of planning and executing the death of democracy.
You’re right. To add onto that it was Ivana who said he kept this book near his bed, it always been pretty credible.
Considering her cause of death was “bruise”, that tracks.
Literal puppet.
It’s just become really scary at this point, to be honest. The right have debased themselves so thoroughly, the only thing they have left is to actually elect this fucking psycho and be “right”
Humans tend to imitate those we idolize, don’t we?
Modification of Godwins Law:
As a speech of a populist (ex-)president grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
What’s next? Invading Poland?
No, invading Mexico.
