I was about to say, too well articulated for Trump. Almost had me.

He doesn't write any of his posts, he calls some deluded intern, yells at them in dementaspeak what he wants to say, and they post it.
I thought he was using GPT 2?
Trump's worldview is very similar to Hitler's in many ways. The core similarity is that they both thought/think of everything in international relations as zero-sum.
There's a lot to it that can't be compressed into a readable Lemmy comment, but it's pretty easy to find material.
They're very similar.
They're were both extremely damaged by emotional neglect in their childhoods, while ironically being treated as if they were superior in some way, and after being rejected by society (New York society in Trump's case, art school in Hitler's,) they lashed out instead of being introspective to correct their narcissistic repulsive behavior, and leaned hard into punishing all of the inferior peasants by being colossal entitled assholes.
Malignant Narcissistic Psychopathy 101.
Both of them staged a failed insurrection as well.
A key difference: Hitler survived on battlefields where he could die a horrible death. Trump lacks the suffering and hardship required to understand what is at stake if he plays the fascist game badly. I think that is going to be a major reason in why Fascist America would lose in the long run, since it doesn't value competency in any respect. Even the Nazis had some competencies, despite being evil dickheads.
While Hitler served, he was no war hero. Don't glamorize him.
Edit: Oh, and if I wasn't clear, Fuck Hitler.
I am not. What I am saying is that he has experience with bloodshed, and the knowledge he could be a corpse if he played the wrong cards. Trump doesn't understand consequences, because he has never truly risked anything.
I'm not interested in arguing about this, anymore. I'm done with it.
But you're correct that Hitler had first hand knowledge of war, but I don't see how that makes any real difference.
They are both raging narcissists who think they are "Special," and deserve to be adulated, and worshiped.
Omg, I thought those sentences were a little different from how he spoke, but I believed it.
I figured as much. It was too coherent for a long sentence to be dementia donald.
Well lets be honest Trump can't form sentences that are this coherent. Yet people still somehow dig it. I understand the appeal of a charismatic leader with a strong rhetoric but Trump? Come on guys.
I think a lot of people aren't that coherent. They also just kind of wander from emotion to emotion, so Trump talks like they think.
everything he says is laundered and repackaged through an army of spin doctors to make it seem more convincing and articulate.
Hitler had Goebbels. one guy. with the rise of for profit, 24/7, ubiquitous social media, there's now 10,000 Goebbels with their own podcast or content channel.
and because these apologists and sane-washers get paid by tech companies (in advertising/ clicks) they have incentives to keep churning it out without any direct orders from a central authority - "Smash that subscribe button!, we got weekly hot takes on what glorious leader actually meant when he said 'death to my enemies!'"
The turd messiah
If it were Trump, it would have said something more like:
You know the judges? Have you heard about these judges? Nasty people, these judges. You've never seen such judges before. I will put a stop to these judges.
"Don't they know I'm special? I'm the baddest badass who ever badassed. The fuck's their problem? I'll give them a problem."
You forgot ‘activist judges’ is their favourite
No body goes after judges like I do, let me tell you. These judgesssssss, nasty people head tilt to the left and we're gonna put a stop to 'em head tilt to the right.
You forgot: makes accordion motions with his hands.
I have the best judges, that I can tell you.

Especially when Lemmy now has a field to fill in alt text when posting.
Trump's statement after arresting Wisconsin judge:
"I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation...
From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour."
I lied, that was Hitler in 1942.
Tell me more, please.
Rollercoaster down hill in slow motion, hell yeah ☠️ We're cooked, pressure them with protests
I have to admit I was fooled, even though I"m sure Trump doesn't know a word as big as evidently
I wouldn't assume he even knows "shall."
I'm not sure he can get "nation" out
