http://www.politicususa.com/2015/12/13/donald-trump-sounds-acts-adolf-hitler-running-fuhrer.htmlIt is not unusual for a politician, especially one running for a national office, to study carefully highly successful political leaders campaign speeches and rhetoric. It should surprise no American that Republican frontrunner for the presidential nomination, Donald Trump, also carefully studied a highly-successful politician, except it was not an American and not the kind of monster any decent American should emulate. Donald Trump is not remotely a decent American, and based on his embrace of Adolf Hitlers volume of speeches he made between 1918 and 1941, he intends on being an effective Nazi instead of a good American.
It is not like it was a secret that Trumps hateful speeches, and more troubling, his policy proposals are very close to those instituted in Nazi Germany; even some conservatives have cited his fascism. However, the idea that he has studied, at least since prior to 1990, a book of speeches Hitler used in his rise to power should put an end to complaints about comparing him to Hitler or Godwins law....
The Hitler volume, My New Order not only contains 23 years worth of Hitlers speeches, it is profusely indexed and filled with details about the speeches impact on the media and the political establishment. According to a literary periodical, Kirkus Review, Trumps collection of Hitler speeches contains actual quotations from Hitlers own utterances, including corresponding data showing the effect on the world press. Section after section follows pattern-background, speech, press; and Donald Trump faithfully follows Hitlers model.
The way Trump rages like a madman, responds aggressively in public and argues closely follows Hitlers instructions in My New Order. Trump successfully learned about targeting the audiences lowest common denominator, how scare-propaganda works, and how to structure an emotional speech for effect and to incite rage. Trump has succeeded up to now in emulating his apparent Nazi hero because a recent analysis in the New York Times concludes that Trump is as proficient at hateful demagoguery as any 20th Century monster; they stopped short of naming Hitler Godwin and all.
