As long as they are like von Stauffenberg I would be okay with it.

Isn't he up to destroy the USA? And rebuild it brand new like he wants it to be? 'All hail the emperor King Donald, 1st'?
"Bad ones, weak enough to listen to me"
His MAGA flock will love him more. He is sticking it the Liberals. Making them cry.

Is he aware that Germany lost?
Pretty sure he would consider murdering millions of Mexicans as a win, even if it ends with a bullet to his temple.
Ya know I realise this is complete conspiracy theory. However, I'm still willing to give a 2-5% chance that if Trump gets back into power, within the last 12-18 months of his presidency he'll declare a special operation into North Mexico to 'secure the border', 'stop the illegal immigrants' and 'remove the drug cartels'.
Then he'll claim it's too dangerous to hold the election, or not appropriate, or whatever excuse because of the special operation. And then he'll postpone the election with the approval of the SC as a presidential duty and therefore not illegal.
And I know this is insane but every time I ask myself "would trump attempt something like this?" The answer is always "yes"

I expect he is a slow reader. He may not have gotten to that part of the book yet.
He said his favorite book is Mein.
Maybe he has good associations with that word because when he said lo mein at a Chinese restaurant a plate of greasy noodles arrived

In fairness, the one he's read ends before that.
Germany mainly lost by losing the economics and resources games. A secondary factor was when Hitler started taking over strategic and tactical planning from the generals.
My take on the generals themselves is that they were at least not terrible.
Dont understand why you get downvoted, as I assume you mean that the generals wrwe not strategical and tactical terrible. Think most historians will agree that Hitlers direct involvement in the war was a growing issue in conducting the war. Also Hitler stayed in power by making sure that the levels below him were at each others throats and not able to challenge him directly. Nazi Germany was not technically on a war economy until Speer took over, and the amount of corruption was immens.

Wasn't Blitzkrieg like a brilliant strategy at the time that devastated their opponents?

Germany lost by declaring war on the United States on December 11th 1941.
You mean the Red Army?

Well they were probably too loyal to their idiot Fuhrer. Methinks it's the loyalty part that Trump wants.
The generals tried to overthrow or assassinate him on multiple occasions. The most famous one is the plot for the movie "Valkyrie".

Economic and resources problems are part in parcel with a despot with a desire for absolute loyalty.
Can't wait to hear how this gets sane washed.
"He meant to say genitals!"
peace loving guy who definitely won't start an unwinnable war
He needs to get kicked in the cunt.
Goddamn. And he's potentially president a second time.
Trump has already caused significant damage. If he wins, we can expect things to get really bad.
But even if he loses, look at what he's done. He truly believes personal gain is the only thing someone should ever value. There is no justice for someone like that, other than taking it all away. Forcing him to realize that humanity has only survived because we can work together for collective gain.
This is what the GOP wants for our future.
A bunch of losers?
He's going to fire all the generals we have that are better than Hitler's because they've learned from 50 extra years of warfare. He'll be left with generals that are worse than Hitler's.
But he's NOT a Nazi!
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

so basically fascism.
This literally the “israeli” government. Yet we see the Democrats administration, willing to defend that. If the US government in principle is happy supporting a Nazi government; i feel that it reflects well having 2/3 of the population being happy with a Nazi government themselves.
Wow so edgy and original!
Never heard a Hamas propagandist say "actually Israel is nazi" before!

It’s Cluster B. Alternative reality. Never to blame. They almost need enemies to work on to be themselves. Gaslight or verbally abuse those in disagreement lest your private reality break. No empathy. Chases power over scenarios.
We’re living inside the reality of a mental illness. And because it goes to the highest office, the fuckery is exponentially more.
Read the whole and thing and, wow. It's just unbelievable to me that people can support this man so fervently.
I guess it's what happens when you give people permission to be completely selfish and devoid of empathy. He's a fucking psychopath.
It sucks sharing a world with terrorists.
Not psychopathy. But narcissistic personality disorder. If you know anyone who has lived with one, they can tell you it’s on the verge of psychopathy.
It’s crazy behavior and crazy talk because it’s mental illness, probably somewhere around 60 years untreated mental illness. And hallmarks of NPD are maintaining a personal alternative reality, mentally tearing apart anyone disagreeing with that alternative reality, and no empathy.
I’m sick to death of no one talking about it and calling it what it is. We can talk about Biden’s dementia but not this?
It’s what happens when you get your news in parts of the country where Fox and Sinclair own the airwaves. They make immigrants and democrats seem terrifying.
add in some social media for the younger people and bam, recipe for fascism.
Its just standard brainwashing. It’s not even complicated. It’s all right out in the open.
Don't you think he looks tired?
Hitler ended up firing most of his generals. Then he shot himself.
Unfortunately this did not happen very quickly. The years leading up to it were pretty awful.
Hitler's best generals tried to kill him.
I read this entire article, and it made me sad. Because the guy's probably going to win. The people who need to read this article simply won't, and they will continue to believe what he tells them.
The people who need to read the article would, and then complain that it's all lies to denigrate Trump. It's a sick joke that I have family members who, "respect the military and those who serve", but continue to tout Trump as a Messianic figure to save America. The brainwashing/rot is real.
the only trump supporters who would bother reading this article are the ones who would be happy to hear trump invoke hitler.
They're going to agree.
