The "Big Lie"

[Cattledog]

Trump has adopted many of Hitler's personality traits and thinking.

"...in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.

It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

—?Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X[1]

From the United States Office of Strategic Services during WW II describing Hitler's psychological profile:

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

1. And this:

"He is very cheerful, jokes all the time and does not give anybody an opportunity to speak, while he himself makes fun of everybody."

He is also terrified when he is called upon to speak to intellectuals or any group in which he feels opposition or the possibility of criticism.

"He has always been a poseur. He remembers things that he has heard and has a faculty for repeating them in such a way that the listener is lead to believe that they are his own."

Another one of his tricks which drives people and particularly his associates to distraction is his capacity for forgetting. This trait has been commented upon so much that it scarcely needs mentioning here. We all know how he can say something one day and a few days later say the opposite, completely oblivious to his earlier statement. He does not only do this in connection with international affairs but also with his closest associates. When they show their dismay and call his attention to the inconsistency he flies off into a rage and demands to know if the other person thinks he is a liar. Evidently the other leading Nazis have also learned the trick

2. Yes, he really has.

I just watched a satirical movie on Netflix "Look Who's Back" made in 2015 about Hitler coming back from the dead to modern times. Everyone assumes he is an impersonator and with the help of a tv producer he makes the talk show and reality show circuit spewing his still warped rhetoric. Not surprising but many modern people fall victim to his "charms and wit" and begin embracing him all over again...

3. Watched the same flick.

As someone who had Relatives still in Germany during this time frame. So many factoids from that flick played true in real time in letters from those Relatives in the Early part of WW2 until they fled only to reappear as DP's .

Roy Cohn and Joe McCarty's Training Manuel was learned well by Trump.
