“During his recent campaign for the presidency, Donald Trump made it clear that he fully intended to become a dictator on day one of his presidency. Then, a few days ago, he confirmed that as soon as he becomes president, he intends to declare a ‘national emergency’ to justify his use of the military establishment to round up and deport an estimated 13 million immigrants living here in the United States without official permission. I know that it’s not considered a politic thing to do to bring up acts committed by German leader Adolf Hitler. But I disagree. When it comes to dictatorship, I think most everyone would agree that Hitler sets the standard. Thus, if a ruler does something that Hitler did, I think that a presumption arises that that act should be viewed with some suspicion. Therefore, sometimes such a comparison can be helpful.” (11/25/24)
