Seriously Don? A free press = Nazi Germany? Criticizing you = Nazi Germany? You little narcissistic POS.

With what Don and the GOPeee is doing, it reminds me of how Hitler began. Fear, misinformation, bigotry, scapegoating, press control. To have him claim this because of free press and criticism goes beyond the pale.

Steven Goldstein, executive director of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, criticized Trump’s reference to Nazi Germany and called for him to retract the tweet.

“It is a despicable insult to Holocaust survivors around the world, and to the nation he is about to lead, that Donald Trump compares America to Nazi Germany,” Goldstein said in a statement. “The President-elect has denigrated our nation and its commitment to freedom on the eve of his inauguration. He must retract his tweet and apologize to survivors and to our entire nation.”

but, yeah, the martyr complex runs strong among russopublicans.


my mother is and her parents were holocaust survivors. they always told me, sure, it was bad when they took away their rights, their livelihood, their possessions, and evicted them; and it was certainly a big scare when they narrowly missed getting picked up by the ss to be sent to a concentration camp for a grim existence as slave labor before a miserable, nearly certain death.

but their real fear was getting dissed in the newspapers. thank goodness the underground was able to smuggle them out before that calamity could happen!

He and his cronies are the freakin' Nazi types. He and all the RW shamelessly use propaganda techniques like this constantly, and the sad and frustrating thing is that they work! Too many people fall for this shit.

But if he has his way...it's anyone's guess. Then again, could he being "telling us" what is to come? Remember, this is the same man who said he would not commit to accepting the results of the election, and when pressed, said, he would, if he won. Perhaps he knew not to accept the results if Clinton won because he already knew the fix was in, and being the simpleton he is, let the cat out of the bag. That loud popping noise we all heard that night, wasn't jaws dropping around the world, as we suspected, it was his army of Russian handlers simultaneously facepalming themselves!

He will do anything to get deals to cancel his debts.

He will destroy the US reputation re bonds in order to line hi pockets with actual cash.
