The Hidden Agenda

The similarities between Hitler and Trump are very stark

With his henchmen behind him  Donald Trump continues his sporadic, neurotic and self inflicting behavior that typifies a person on the edge. This wouldn't be so bad in itself but when we have a President of the United States behaving as only the Trumpseter knows how to do the country and the rest of the world are beginning to realize that this one person could in fact unleash untold damage to the republic of the United States and could realistically shove this nation toward international conflicts that could lead to a world war.  That being said the fact of the matter is history is already repeating. To realize that Trump's behavior is very similar to one of histories most diabolical dictators is a fact that can't be ignored any longer.  The instigator of the Holocaust and the mastermind of evil that ushered in World War II reminds us that history can and often does repeat with disastrous results.

As the United States begins to see just how Trump has turned the Presidency into a mockery of an institution the rest of the world continues to wonder just how long can the American people put up with the antics that are similar to that of Adolf Hitler. From many of the comments that already have been made shows that a small minority can't seem to realize just how inept this person, who many voted for in the first place really is. Inept in that he has ever since his Inauguration done nothing to stabilize the growing divisions that are pulling this country apart. All he has done is put in place a cabinet that is the very antithesis of what the majority of the population stand for. He has insulted practically every ethnic group and ushered in executive orders that are contrary to the basic principles to which our Democracy is based on. Not one thing that Trump has done has had a positive impact on the economy, the health, the stability and security of this nation. 

 When we take a close look at what Trump has actually said and done in his first few weeks in office there are echoes of the past that should be a wake up call for every American to realize the dangers that this one person represents to the Free World.  To see the similarities between Trump and Hitler we look no further his stigmatization of minorities. If we retrace history we realize that the Nazi Holocaust of the Jewish population was not just genocide of a race of people it was because Hitler regarded the Jews as an existential threat to Germany. Hitler's rational was that if the Jewish population existed they would always pose a threat to Germany. Other ethnic  groups that the Nazis stigmatized, discriminated and yes many were murdered just to get them out of the way. Now if we take a hard look at the rhetoric that the Trump Administration is using about the Islamic extremist jihadis is very much similar to what the Nazis were saying back in the early 1930's. Granted the Islamic extremists are a realistic threat to the US and rest of the world but the language that is constantly said over and over again remains that there really is quite a echo of the past.

Trump won the presidency much like Hitler did when he came into power. Once both seized the reigns of power the rush was on to push, in Trumps case executive orders through and in Hitler's case to pass legislation to give Hitler supreme power to make laws. We have in both cases what was been done first was by legal means. Many did not agree with what was being passed or shoved through but it was done most effectively to ensure both Trump and Hitler got their way. In Hitler's case he rushed through several laws that set up his one party state closed down opposition newspapers and installed Joseph Goebbels as a trusted confidant and the inventor of news whether it was true or not. 

The similarities are quite nerving because in Trumps case he has surrounded himself with people who basically are yes people. These people are capable of lying to fancy Trumps outlandish claims while others are just there to solidify Trump's agenda. An agenda that's if we can call it that. Also, is the fact that Trump has a very narcissistic personality much like Hitler. Both men share the same personality traits that have clouded their decisions which led to and can still lead to horrific acts of injustice. 

We had better wake up and really recognize just how dangerous this President is. Trump has shown complete contempt for the courts and rule of law. The many ethic violations that continue to mount and his open assault on the courts especially with the immigration and travel ban echoes what the Nazis did. When Hitler bypassed the courts by setting up a parallel justice system the whole legal system in Germany during the 1930's up until the end of the War caved in to Hitler's demands. We are not there yet but if Trump continues with the gutless Republicans in tow things could get much worse in a hurry.  

There continues to be be those who have long since questioned Trump's mental state or is he just a big buffoon. Many thought Trump was just a joke not to be take seriously. Many thought that once Trump won the election the Republican party could calm him down when he assumed the responsibilities of office. Boy, how wrong the were. But, the similarities between Trump and Hitler stop when Trump continues to but his foot in his mouth every time he speaks. Speaking off the cuff has continually gotten him in trouble and just shows that he really doesn't have a clue of how the handle the duties of the Presidency in a dignified and honorable manner. All one has to do is read his tweets to realize just how ridicules he actually sounds. Hitler was no buffoon. He very carefully prepared all his speeches. To some they had the feel of spontaneity but they actually were well prepared to further Hitler's agenda. 

Whatever agenda Trump has to offer beyond his ludicrous Boarder wall and his deportation of illegal immigrants there is nothing substantial that actually would ensure the stability, the prosperity, and the authentic security. His agenda is already full of meaningless rhetoric instead of verifiable ideals, facts, and solutions that would ensure America's future be as bright as possible instead of a blight on the world's stage. A hidden agenda that the world has seen before with horrific consequences. We must not let it happen again.

Mr. Williams,

This is the second article I have read in the past 4 weeks where someone has set to pen their thoughts and concerns that Donald Trump, indeed, represents a repeat of Adolf Hitler like governmental rule, except, this time in America …

For the record, I witnessed many similar articles paint Barak Obama in a similar light during his two terms as President. Honestly, I did not care for Obama and I did not trust the man. Obviously, this fact is a moot point at this juncture in the troubled life of our nation …

Obama was feared by conservative Republicans, because he does exhibit Socialist ideals … I saw it then, and I see it and believe it now … As I have shared with you, I do not fear Socialist based programs or ideas that are properly contained in such a manner as to prevent them from running a muck in a repeat of the USSR fashion … In addition, I am a supporter of capitalism and free enterprise … Yet, where is the equity of free enterprise to be found that results in the extinction of one of America's greatest endeavors in free enterprise: The mom and pop business operations of the past—prior to the advent of corporate America and, namely, Sam Walton and his creation of the right of might attained by purchasing in huge quantities that spawned Walmart as the very nemesis that put an end to the majority of small businesses that had historically made up the backbone of an America built around community and family … My point? …

Many feared that Obama would end up being a closet socialist dictator, and I saw some actions on his part that concerned me at the time … But what has not truly been considered is that any ideology can handily be perverted by the right man in power to bring about that first and long feared American Dictatorship … Capitalism could easily be adapted, mutated, and transformed into a vastly uglier creature than Walmart ever thought about being, and the end would most certainly be disastrous for our nation …

I simply could not stomach Hilary Clinton, yet, I did not, I do not, trust Trump … The things I hear leaving his mouth have a definite Socialist or Fascist ring to them in always referring to the people, which is exactly how Dictators over outright Socialist, Fascist, or even Communist nations speak …

The man is telling people exactly what they wish to hear and setting out to keep all his campaign promises, every single one at the very same moment in time when common sense should dictate alarmingly to everyone of us that only so much progress at a time can be absorbed by any nation's budget without outright bankrupting that nation—perhaps, purposefully and intentionally …

I don't agree with your every thought, but I do agree with your logical and sensible concern about what is transpiring …

I have not been able to support the platform of the Democratic Party for some time, longing for men of character within that party reminiscent of the character of John F. Kennedy … I would have voted for Bernie Sanders if his party had given him a chance … Sanders' being a Socialist did not scare me, for the man was open and honest about his beliefs and had no hidden agenda … I have come to think that America might function best with a checked and well balanced form of Capitalism harnessed as a team together with a well checked and balanced form of Socialism to lead our nation to a brighter and higher plateau of hope for prosperity for all Americans, where the rich are not punished for being rich, but are most certainly prevented from becoming richer off the backs and sweat of the American work force … I don't have all the answers, or any truly workable answer, but our nation is headed for a disaster if something does not change, and let us pray that it is not coming very soon at the hands of our current President …

Keep shouting the warning and hope that a few will listen and learn … Well done and spot on! … I really enjoyed what you had to share ...
