In reply to the discussion: US editor of Israel's Haaretz: Thanks to Trump, We Can Better Understand How Hitler Was Possible [View all]ColemanMaskell
(783 posts)Okay, actually a disagreement. I say: Gee whiz doesn't the Trump thing look disturbingly similar to the Hitler thing?
He says No, laughs, interprets Trump's complete lack of restraint as a joke. Initially he found Trump's speeches highly entertaining, like a late night comedy show. He's not laughing now, but he still isn't convinced there's any similarity to Hitler. So I've emailed part of your news clipping to him. He does seem to respect Jewish community ideas to a large extent, so who knows, there's a chance this article, from this source, could bring him to view things from a different angle. Why do I care what he thinks anyway, as long as Trump goes down on November 8th? I'm not completely sure. I laugh at the world a lot too, but to me Trump seems deadly serious. Thanks for sharing the Haaretz opinion piece.
