References to Trump as Mussolini are highly appropriate...

If you've seen films of Mussolini's speeches, Trump's performances at his rallies is eerily similar...

specifically, he works the crowd to a frenzy...gets them chanting and then literally STRUTS around the stage, basking in the frenzy he created.

It's frightening!

comparing him to Hitler, in my opinion, is less accurate than his likeness to Mussolini.

If I Donald Trump go down you can bet your ass you go with me. Trumps have worked extortion schemes for decades it is the family brand.

He sees no evil, he hears no evil, he speaks no evil.

His 'do not recall' index is wound up to Mach 10.

He thinks he will be the last man standing when all around him are destroyed.

No Sir, that will not work!

Are you sure it's not just 2 fragments of one that exploded? Logic can be powerful.

He probably wasn't involved in the decision to feed fast food burgers to a football team, that doesn't having anything to do with whether or not it was okay for Trump to do so.

That said, I don't believe he was not involved, that he didn't at least have awareness of some aspects of it and could be a witness.
