That slogan “Make America great again” made us Germans very uneasy from the start, cause we remember the last guy who promised us (very literally) to make Germany great again.
I know that Trump secretly admires moustache guy. But I honestly don’t think he is well-read or intelligent enough to realize it’s exactly the same slogan moustache guy used. With Trump, willful ignorance is always the most likely option because malicious intent requires a degree of intellect he does not possess.
As a German native speaker, I have listened to almost all of the publicly available Hitler speeches, and I found it incredibly hard to keep paying attention. It’s as bad as Mein Kampf - just weird sequences of relatively incoherent segments of his twisted world views. Very hard to follow.
And Trump is well known for his extremely short attention span. I would be very, very surprised if that man managed to read even a single Hitler speech from start to finish in one sitting.
No, underestimating the capacity of a large amount of idiots to recognize all the flaws of this unspeakably horrible person and elect the fucker nonetheless, that’s what got us here.

Where do you think Trump got the idea for it?
Ronald Reagan’s campaign.
Of course he got it from Hitler, who got the idea from America’s “Manifest Destiny” philosophy. It’s fascist turtles all the way down …
I’d assume it was Ronald Reagan since it was also his slogan in the 1980’s.
It’s pretty clear that Trump is a fascist piece of shit but this game he is playing has been going on a lot longer than people think.

Secretly admires?
Ivana said Trump kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by the bed. He definitely knows it’s the same slogan.

Well, I still doubt he read them all.

Underestimating him is how we got here.
