Tonight's suspension of Godwin's Law:

That hate filled yelling was little different in tone, delivery, volume, inflection, and content from similar diatribes by Adolf Hitler.



I chose this clip because of the juxtaposition, but just listening to a Hitler speech, even without subtitles, will still concur of Donald Trump.

He said that any internet discussion will devolve to invocation of Nazis if it goes on long enough.

Trump evoked memories of Nazism / Hitler very early in his campaign. So Godwin's Law has not been suspended. It was long ago applied to Trump's campaign.

I think instead of "will still concur of" you may have meant to write "will still evoke".



To your main point about Trump's tone and delivery, (without spending time on a video), it is true that he uses those kind of neurolinguistic speech techniques and other such techniques as well. He is primarily a self-promoter, a souped-up used car salesman. In sum, a con artist.

The one's some people find really annoying are those who come off as pedantic assholes. Fortunately we don't see many of that type.

Do you met people and tell them how to dress or stand or pick their nose?

What you did was busybody, not helpful, and insulting to the nine.

Please stay away from my posts and I will stay away from yours. I don't like you.
