  1. But Jewish voters hate themselves and Israel if they don’t vote for him.

  5. “Sir, whatever you do, you cannot say anything good about the guy”

    “But Hitler did some good things too”

    “We will root out the communists, marxists, fascist thugs, the scum that live like vermin within the confines of our country”

    Spoken like a true fascist, which he is.

  7. From a 1990 Vanity Fair article.

    >Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, “Heil Hitler,” possibly as a family joke.

    >Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

    >“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.

    >Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”

    >“I don’t remember,” I said.

    >“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)

    >Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”

    >Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler’s speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler’s genius at propaganda. The Führer often described his defeats at Stalingrad and in North Africa as great victories. Trump continues to endow his diminishing world with significance as well. “There’s nobody that has the cash flow that I have,” he told The Wall Street Journal long after he knew better. “I want to be king of cash.”

    Then there was this nugget.

    >Donald is a believer in the big-lie theory,” his lawyer had told me. “If you say something again and again, people will believe you.”

    >“One of my lawyers said that?” Trump said when I asked him about it. “I think if one of my lawyers said that, I’d like to know who it is, because I’d fire his ass. I’d like to find out who the scumbag is!”

  8. There’s a huge difference between having a sense of humor and being sick minded.

  9. >Res then said that Trump’s recent comments about “the late, great Hannibal Lecter” (a fictional cannibal from the film Silence of the Lambs) reminded her of a Nazi joke Trump once made toward Jewish executives in the Trump Organization.
    >
    >“It reminds me of a time when we had just hired a residential manager, a German guy,” Res said. “And Donald [Trump] 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.”
    >
    >“Everybody was shocked,” she continued. “I couldn’t believe he said that. But he was making a joke about the Nazi ovens and killing people, and that’s the way he was.”
    >
    >When host Ali Velshi asked Res about Trump’s affiliation with the Christian right, Res said Trump’s “embrace of religion” is “absolute nonsense.” She laughed when remembering how Trump “used to hate Christmas because he had to go to church one day.”
    >
    >“He was an agnostic, maybe he was an atheist,” she continued. “He mocked religious people, he thought they were stupid for believing in things that were obviously, intellectually to him not true.”

  15. He isn’t joking. He’s been telling us from day one. This is who he really is.

  19. Not suprised went to Bukenwald when I was ten and memories of what I was still gives me chills. Nothing to joke about. Trump is such an asshat orange faced blob. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  20. He doesn’t joke. He doesn’t have a sense of humour. If he says something believe it.

  24. If you’re cheering for him and I had the means: I’d dissolve your voter registration.

  25. My god, that’s 3 things that Trump had said in the past week. Plus he’s got that felon thing hanging over his head.

  26. Obviously if he idolizes Hitler he has absolutely no intention of upholding the constitution if the unthinkable happens in November either legally or more likely illegally with the help of the Trump Supreme Court.

  27. Nothing out of character and surprising about it.

  30. Absolutely disgusting. And who’s to say deep down he probably wasn’t joking

  33. You know, I wouldnt judge someone that has to speak to nations for having that book. Like Hitler said oodles of heinous shit. But he said it well. There are definitely aspects of it worth studying.

    But in this case, I will judge trump because fuck that guy all the way off.

  34. And he has told groups of Jewish Americans to their faces that the thinks they are particularly good with money and talked to them like they were being dishonest Israeli citizens if they voted against him.

  36. Must be nice being one of the worst people alive / of all time & being completely free of consequences 

  38. That was not funny. This is exactly why Trump ought to be careful saying that stuff towards the Jewish people.

    Because that right there is a direct insult.

  39. Trump doesn’t joke, he is incapable as a sociopath.

  41. So instead of donating 2 million they only donated 1.9 million to show him how disgusted they were.
