You know who’s not ‘pouring into America’? People with options.
Unless you’re fleeing the third world, I can’t imagine why America would even be on your radar. He’s obsessing over the wrong problem.
That’s such a great way to put it.
It’s all a diversion to avoid people thinking about actual problems
Why do all of his speeches sound like they were pulled straight from the nazis?
"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. "
Oh yeah, that’s why. Thanks vanity fair.
Again, he’s not subtle.
He’s literally Dwight from that episode where Jim teaches Dwight how to deliver a speech.
He isn’t smart enough to know the historical paradigm of dictator’s speeches himself.
I wanna know who his Jim is.
From what I’m reading Hitler was a lifelong passion for Trump. Sure he might not have read it recently, but at one point, even if it’s was 20 years ago, he wasn’t mentally deranged. If he actually did read them “from time to time” over the years, that’s easily a dozen. And usually people remember things better if they find it interesting, so even someone with memory issues would be able to paraphrase and recite something they’ve heard a dozen times, especially if that was their passion.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Immigrants built America. No one works harder to make a country better than the people who know how much worse it can be.
I agree with Trump. Ever since the first European settlers came to the North America, the area has been in heavy decline. From polluting rivers to the point where they could be lit on fire, to the last president who was a fascist.
Isn’t he married to an immigrant?
Slaves and mail-order brides are OK.
Baron is an anchor baby.
Its ok because he married one of the good ones.

Watching it all from Belgium, it seems that the contested speech of Trump is purposefully aimed at:
- making the previous wrong remark yesterday’s news;
- flooding the news/people with controversial remarks so it’s impossible to ‘keep count’;
- raising the bar of what shocks Trump-supporters and -opponents.
What was yesterdays remark?
Exactly 🙂
Fuck, it’s a good strategy
“ Trump is the son, and grandson, of immigrants: German on his father’s side, and Scottish on his mother’s. None of his grandparents, and only one of his parents, was born in the United States or spoke English as their mother tongue. “
You know, he may have a point.
Do you want hitler, because that’s how you get Hitler.
No, he’s not charismatic, not that far from grave and doesn’t have any ideology or potent supporters (like officers, aristocrats).
While intelligent people don’t think Trump is charismatic, he is undoubtedly considered to be charismatic by stupid people. He has situational charisma - when he’s ranting about some weird idea that he think his supporters will glom onto he’s considered to be very charismatic despite the written versions of his speeches sounding like the ravings of a man who just met Cthulhu.
Your other points are 100% though - he is WAY older than Hitler was at his peak, and he has this terrible knack for throwing his sycophantic and powerful supporters under the bus which leaves him lonely in his power. I think he likes it that way.
Someone needs to do the Hitler meme but with a trump speech
There are quite a few Native Americans who would agree.
I like most of you Americans, but I don’t wanna share the longest undefended border anymore if that asshole is elected again.
Just tell everyone that Alberta is out of oil. No one is going to invade for the maple syrup, despite it being the nectar of the gods.
It will be for the water though.
Trump is poisoning the brains of our country.
That may sound better if it got turned around to "Rally immigrants tell Trump is ‘poisoning the blood of our country’
OK Drumpf… Whatever you say…
Political candidate tells nation of immigrants that immigrants are BAD. Film at 11.
Title gore.
Do we have that yet in lemmy? c/titlegore
