Trump Rhetoric...

In this clip, Timothy Snyder, a Yale historian specialising on Central and Eastern Europe and the Holocaust, explains how Trump uses the exact. same. propagandistic. tropes as Hitler did.
Fair warning: it's impossible to un-hear. Their butchered National Anthem by the choir of January 6 felons can be seen as a silly stunt. However, in reality it IS, in fact, literally, his movement's Horst-Wessel-Lied. If not Trump, then someone in his camp is very familiar with the NSDAP practices and is doing this quite consciously. Then again, wasn't Donald himself raised by a Nazi sympathizer?

 

Dunno about that but people need to get this...when Trump tells you what he intends to do, BELIEVE HIM!

 

Yale historian Timothy Snyder is an expert on this.

 

Oh... if only an EXPERT on Trump could SAVE us from Trump.... or an EXPERT on the Middle East could save people from a WAR.

 

And unfortunately, Trump’s ignroant followers will look at this and just cry “fake news”

 

Yes. They will. And WAY worse than that - they will VOTE for him.

 

I’m hoping there’s more people out there like my mom. She registered to vote for the first time in 2020 because she had to vote Trump OUT.

 

And despite his vehement opposition, including criminal efforts resulting in Trump's indictment, it WORKED. Yay, Vicki's Mom!

I have been stung more often than celebrated for my political predictions, but it does seem to mt that Trump isn't really expanding his Base very much. A few here and a few there, maybe, but mostly no one who voted for Biden in 2020 is going to vote for Trump this time. He has made few converts and his use of campaign donations to pay his legal expenses is turning people off. Grift is forgivable up to the point you're the griftee.

 

Of course it's only available in KJV. I had to check.

 

The ASV (American Standard Version) is in public domain. It would fit even better with the theme of "AMURIKIN BIBBLE". But I'm pretty sure there is significant overlap between people who like Trump and who think that the only valid version of the Christian Bible is the KJV.

Also, fun fact: the KJV is still copyrighted in the UK.

 

Well, I guess The Donald really IS a rich man after all. His Truth Social stock is worth some $4 billion with a "B". Wonder if he'll pay back all that donor money diverted to his legal defenses?

 

Yeah. Sure. Any day now.

 

Here are some facts about Truth Social profitability.

quote:
Truth Social earned $3.4 million in revenue for the first nine months of 2023 and it lost around $49 million.

The article shows even worse financial statistics. That is not a company that seems likely to really be worth billions of dollars anytime soon.

 

Or millions -- or thousands -- or even dollars. I don't see Warren Buffett buying that one...

That last paragraph tells it all. His favorite grift is getting paid for his name and picture on the ads. No quality assurance or work, except posing for a few photos.
