Trumpo Wacko

Trump has set himself up very well for 2024 - assuming that 2024 is when the law catches up with him and throws him in prison or it's when Melania finally decides to have him committed.

Even though he's an announced presidential candidate for 2024, Trump has suggested terminating the Constitution and having him restored to the Presidency because of fraud in the 2020 election that never happened.  This came after Trump dined at Mar-a-Lago with anti-Semitic rapper Kanye West and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who both subsequently appeared on Alex Jones' InfoWars program and expressed a fondness for Adolf Hitler that took Jones aback.  

“Well, I see good things about Hitler also," West said, masked in a black stocking for unknown reasons.  "I love everyone and Jewish people are not going to tell me: 'You can love us and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we're pushing with the pornography.'  But this guy [Hitler] that invented highways and invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good." he said. 

Then West, further ensuring that his Jewish ex-fans who hadn't gotten around to deleting his recording files or throwing out his CDs would do so, concluded, "Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler."

Jones disagreed and refused to go along with West and Fuentes.  Imagine Alex Jones with two guys so crazy that they make Jones the sane  one in the room.

Hitler never brought anything of value to any table, least of all the table that got destroyed when Claus von Stauffenberg tried to assassinate him.  While he expanded the autobahn system in Germany, he did not invent the modern express highway; Americans built the first one on Long Island in 1908. He did not invent the microphone, period; the type of microphone that Kanye West uses as a "musician" was in fact made possible by the contributions of black American engineer James West (no relation to Kanye).  And no, Hitler didn't invent the Volkswagen. Ferdinand Porsche did.

As for Trump suspending the national constitution - a popular ploy among right-wing military juntas in Latin America - Trump is suggesting the tearing up of a document he once took an oath to protect, and he obviously has no desire to protect it if he's even given that responsibility again.  (Heaven forbid!)

The only difference between Trump and Hitler, as far as I'm concerned, was that Trump lost 54 percent of the popular vote in 2016 while Hitler got to be the leader of his country because his party got the most votes.
