Kremlin: Trump’s foreign policy aligns with our vision. Trump & Friends, A Russian Asset This is dangerous for the United States, now and for the future. What don’t the republicans get about this? The republicans used to tout how they were Hawks and we need to protect America and fight against Russia. Now all at once they are Russian bots, and will give up our democracy and the democracy of other nations to kiss Putin’s ring. I will never support Trump, his words, his actions, I am an American, loyal to The United States of America. Not Russia. Europe will stand by Ukraine, their harsh words against the US were warranted. I am ashamed to be an American. I never thought I would live to see the day that America is turning into a fascist country. Sec. Mark Rubio was a hawk against Russia, he claims Putin is a thug and tyrant , and said what happens all across the world will affect every American. We can’t allow Russia to be the aggressor. We must support Ukraine. He has now changed to a Trump loyalist, defending Trump and Russia. Sickening. The bipartisan Arm service committee with Zelenskyy was a good meeting. They gave total support for Ukraine. Sen. (R) Graham said arm Ukraine to the teeth, but after the blow up in the Oval Office he turned on Ukraine. Saying Zelenskyy needs to resign. What a piece of work. Up yours Graham, you are worthless and a Nazi collaborator.
For someone who denies his admiration for Hitler and Nazi’s, Trump seems to quotes them a lot. No other political campaigns or Presidents admires Hitler and the Nazis other than Trump. Should this have raised the alarm on Trump? Hell yes! Rightwing nut jobs have swallowed this rhetoric hook line and sinker. And have fallen in lock step of trump and his Brown shirts. Trump has tried to control the press, kicking out Reuters and the AP from attending the briefings, Air Force One, yet Trump allowed a Russian reporter to attend the Oval office, meeting with the President of Ukraine. Trump does not want any scrutiny on his actions, he wants to control the message his way, he is a Nazi. The Kremlin was happy with the outcome of the attack on the president of Ukraine. And have a rightwing reporter who is dating Margery Taylor Greene attacking Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit! This exchange was a set up. Attacking Zelenskyy for not thanking America for helping Ukraine, which is bullshit, Ukraine has thanked the US numerous times. Trump and Vance have not helped Ukraine so why do they want a thank you. Vance voted against the aid package to Ukraine. Trump could care less about Ukraine all he cares about is Russia. The President of Ukraine is a class act something Trump and Vance will never be Trumps admiration for German generals is one of his favorite topics. Trump likes to say Hitler did some good things. Trump also asked general Kelly why he couldn’t be more like German generals. Kelly responded: “Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’” Do the American people support this self- appointed king, and dictator of the New America? Here’s a timeline of known instances in which Trump has invoked Hitler and the Nazis.
July 14, 2015: Trump tweets picture with SS soldiers in background. About a month after he officially launched his 2016 campaign, Trump took to Twitter, then his favorite social media platform, to post an image of his face overlaid by the American flag, with marching soldiers Photoshopped in the background, hash tagged, “Make America Great Again.” But the image of those soldiers turned out to be taken from a stock photo of World War II reenactors in Nazi uniforms. March 8, 2016: Trump responds to “Hail Trump” calls and Hitler comparisons. such as the creation of a registry of all Muslim Americans — began likening him to Hitler. Among those to draw that comparison were the comedian Louis CK, former Mexican president Vicente Fox, and Anne Frank’s stepsister, Eva Schloss. Neo-Nazis who supported Trump were openly cheering him on with language that evoked Hitler. Some began calling out “Hail Trump” at rallies. And Trump had begun asking supporters at his rallies to hold up their hands in a pledge of allegiance to him, a practice that some said evoked Hitler’s rise to power. Jan. 11, 2017: “Are we living in Nazi Germany?” Shortly before his inauguration, Trump tweeted that question in response to circulating reports that the U.S. intelligence community had gathered compromising personal information about him. “Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to ‘leak’ into the public,” he wrote. “One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?” Jan. 19, 2017: Sebastian Gorka, top Trump aide, appears on Fox News wearing Nazi gear. On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, Gorka, soon to be appointed deputy assistant to the president, wore the badge, tunic and ring of the Order of Vitéz, a Hungarian organization that, according to the U.S. State Department, was “under the direction of the Nazi government of Germany” during World War II. This led to accusations that Gorka himself was a Nazi sympathizer. A Forward investigation later revealed Gorka’s ties to antisemitic Hungarian groups. About 6 months later he resigned. 2017-2020: Trump compares his crowd turnout to Hitler’s (twice). Trump boasted to members of Congress on two separate occasions that Merkel had said she was “amazed” by the number of people who came to see him speak. “She told me that there was only one other political leader who ever got crowds as big as mine,” Trump allegedly said. The other political leader was implied. Trump was said to have lamented that his staff were not as ‘loyal’ to him as the Nazis were to Hitler. June 18, 2020: Facebook takes down Trump ad featuring Nazi symbol. A campaign ad posted from the Team Trump Facebook account, claiming that dangerous far-left groups were “destroying our cities” was accompanied by an image of an inverted red triangle. The campaign claimed Antifa used the symbol. But others pointed out that Nazis used it to identify enemies such as communists. The campaign took down the ad after about 24 hours. November —December, 2023: “I’ve never read Mein Kampf”. In separate campaign speeches, Trump called his political enemies “vermin” and said immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.” The descriptions evoked language used by Hitler to describe Jews. Trump responded to the charges at a Dec. 20 rally. After repeating the phrase that immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,” he riffed, “They said Hitler said that.” He then said Hitler used the words in a much different way, before adding, “It’s true. They’re destroying the blood of the country, they’re destroying the fabric of our country, and we’re going to have to get them out.” He added, “I’ve never read Mein Kampf.” March 2024: John Kelly says Trump said “Hitler did some good things”. Well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy.’ But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world. And I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy.’” It’s pretty hard to believe he missed the Holocaust, though, and pretty hard to understand how he missed the 400,000 American GIs that were killed in the European theater. May 4, 2024: Trump calls Biden presidency a “Gestapo administration”. In an audio recording obtained by The New York Times, Trump told an audience of Republican donors that Biden is running “a Gestapo administration.” The Gestapo were the Nazi police. May 21, 2024: “Unified Reich” May 21, 2024: “Unified Reich” In a full-circle moment recalling the Nazi soldiers’ campaign flub in 2015, a Trump campaign post once again allowed Nazi imagery to slip into the backdrop. Trump’s Truth Social account re-shared a video praising Trump that used faux newspaper clippings as background art; one of the clippings, praising a “unified Reich,” was lifted from a Wikipedia article about World War I. The video appeared to be made by a meme creator whom the Times reported has collaborated with the Trump campaign in the past. But the Trump campaign’s press secretary said it was “created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word.” June 23, 2024: ‘Ovens’ joke. In an appearance on MSNBC, a woman who worked for the Trump organization prior to his presidency recounted an offensive joke Trump once made to Jewish executives after hiring a German employee. And Donald was bragging among — to us executives, there were four of us – about how great the guy was and he was a real gentleman, and he was so neat and clean. And he looked at a couple of our executives who happen to be Jewish, and he said, ‘Watch out for this guy – he sort of remembers the ovens,’ you know, and then smiled.” Oct. 22, 2024 The Atlantic quoted two unidentified sources saying Trump once said, in a private conversation in the White House, “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.” If you cannot see what is happening right before your eyes, the demise of our republic, our freedoms, our way of life. Please take off the binders. We must stand up to this dictator and stand up quick.
