Re: Trump invokes Godwin, then pulls a Hitler

Trump’s ‘Nazi Germany’ tweet doesn’t go over so well

President-elect Donald Trump’s “Nazi Germany” tweet went over about as well as you’d expect.

Immediately after Trump’s tweet Wednesday morning, in which he likened the leak of an unverified opposition report to living in “Nazi Germany,” Holocaust educators and Twitter users displayed disgust at his bizarre analogy.

“It is a despicable insult to Holocaust survivors around the world, and to the nation he is about to lead, that Donald Trump compares America to Nazi Germany,” Steven Goldstein, executive director of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, said in a statement.

“The President-elect has denigrated our nation and its commitment to freedom on the eve of his inauguration. He must retract his tweet and apologize to survivors and to our entire nation.”

The Anti-Defamation League also demanded an apology from the President-elect.

"No one should cavalierly draw analogies to Nazi Germany, especially the next leader of free world. It is not only a ridiculous comparison on the merits, but it also coarsens our discourse and diminishes the horror of the Holocaust."

On Twitter, users wondered whether Trump himself even understood what he meant with his tweet.

“Help me understand, in this bizarrely troubling 'Nazi Germany' metaphor Trump used, is he Hitler or a persecuted Jew facing the Holocaust?” asked Matthew McDermott, a senior analyst at the polling and consulting firm Whitman Insight Strategies.

“Yes, because the leaking of fake news was quite the worst thing about living in Nazi Germany,” quipped comedian and author David Baddiel.

“Perhaps a better example, Donald, might've been Stalinist Russia. But I understand you don't want to upset your friends,” he added.

Trump jumped into Nazi territory during a morning tweetstorm blasting a leaked report making unverified claims that he has deep business ties to Russia and is being blackmailed with evidence of “perverted” sex acts he paid for in Moscow.

"Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?" Trump wrote in one tweet.

Trump received support through his campaign from neo-Nazi groups, including the American Nazi Party, and waited until his victory to say he disavowed it.

The stepsister of Anne Frank even accused Trump of “acting like another Hitler.”

“If Donald Trump becomes the next president of the U.S. it would be a complete disaster,” Eva Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor, wrote in a Newsweek essay last January.

“I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism.”

Re: Trump invokes Godwin, then pulls a Hitler

I love this bickering. For the last 8 years the cons on here have been whining and crying because Barry ran the US and now that they have the orange clown they are screaming fowl that libs are whining and crying. This sand box is getting more ridiculous every day. Bunch of retarded, snotty nosed adolescents.

We should create a gulag for journalists who haven't got a f*cking clue what journalism is. They could even call it the "CNN Inn".

Hillary? Why? She's not in power. But isn't it interesting that the Dumpster is entering office under the greatest cloud of doubt in US history? And it doesn't matter if none of the allegations are true as Obama found out. All some asshhole had to say was that he wasn't born in the US and that lie haunted him for his entire time in office.

Uh, that wasn't just some a$$hole, it was Clinton's campaign in 2008 that started that rumour.

The Dumpster is getting repaid in spades for his lies. It's poetic justice with 1000% interest. No matter what the Dumpster says or does from now on millions of people are going to believe that he was helped into power by the Russians and that he was guilty of multiple degrading sex acts.

He should fit right into Washington then. Just replace 'Russians' with 'corporations' and you describe pretty much all career politicians

Funny how the Trumpites distrust corporations. I've been saying for months that they are closet leftards. You guys keep denying it, then post anti-corporation stuff that would make Rachel Notley blush

A corporation is a fictional entity given the rights of a person in law and they interfere in government which is what I disagree with. As a libertarian I believe citizens should be the ones with rights and in control of the government. I do not have a problem with corporations existing as long as they stay out of politics and are not equal to a person.

My position is not anti-corporate, it is pro-citizen.

Sorry if I made your girlfriend blush.
