Many on the left have compared MAGA republicans to semi-fascist neo-nazis, and some MAGA republican extremists have actually embraced the comparison, but without prejudicing the group by comparison to its most extreme representation, let’s look at the real comparisons-
Leftists compare “anti-immigration xenophobia” to Trump’s America First policies and Hitler’s Germany first policies – but a nations leader is supposed to put his country first. Before Hitler went insane and began Germany on its death march to destruction, he accomplished a lot of things that gave him the popularity & power to craze an entire nation. Following Germany’s World War I devastation Germany was the poorest country in Europe as the rest of Europe held Germany financially responsible for all damages incurred in the war. Germany was forced to sign deals that were devastating to the German economy and indebted them to the rest of Europe. When Hitler rose to power he abolished all of the anti German agreements signed by previous governments and took Germany from the bottom to the richest country in Europe in a few short years.
Donald Trump rose to power at a time many working Americans were angry. Previous administrations signed deals that indebted us greatly to China and numerous trade deals that benefited developing countries far more than the USA – complete disregard of mutually beneficial negotiations. America handed out more aid to foreign countries than most other developed nations combined. We virtually single handedly funded NATO and the UN. At home our massive-largest-on-the-planet deficit was rising greatly, taxes were being increased and Americans were facing unemployment, those with jobs were losing purchasing power with their paychecks because of massive tax and spend policy that printed more and more money to hand away to other countries and pay benefits to non-citizens.
So yes, in many ways Trumps rise to power had similarities to Adolph Hitler’s. His policies weren’t intended to be anti-immigrant, but if there had to be a winner and a loser Trump chose the American citizen over the foreign National every time, which made it easy for the left to paint his policies as anti immigrant. Trump eliminated and international trade agreement that greatly benefited the other country without helping Americans- this caused a small trade war with China and Trump had to subsidize American soy farmers for a little bit. But when coronavirus hit and the stock market plummeted the recovery under Trumps America First stewardship took American stocks from record lows to record highs in record time. You could have literally picked almost any stock during the lows of the pandemic, bought shares and doubled your money in months. Like Adolph Hitler, Donald Trump took the most productive and innovative work force in the world and led it to its rightful spot at the top of the global economy.
And that’s about where the comparisons end. Hitler’s policy towards Jews was exile then extermination as he confiscated their material goods and buried them in mass graves. Trump restored our relationship with Israel that suffered greatly following Obama’s nuclear treaty with Iran. It was Trumps idea to ship immigrants to sanctuary cities that is so often characterized by the left as “inhumane” but ask any immigrant if they’d rather be shipped to San Francisco, Martha’s Vineyard or Auschwitz – I think they would strongly disagree with the left’s characterization of inhumane. While Hitler’s doctrine promised never ending war to conquer Jews and Slavs and Communists, Trump pulled troops from Afghanistan against many Republican wishes to end Americas longest foreign war. Trump’s America first policy included peace and an end to foreign wars while Hitler’s only promised an end to foreign wars after Germany ruled the world – new world order – not anything in common with Trumpism there.
January 6th, 2020. Sure, maybe Trump could have handled things a little better. But, if you knew what Trump knew – Biden would destroy the record highs of the American economy faster than any President in history – it’s kind of hard to blame him to look for any method possible to prevent that from happening. A clear calm mind grounded in American political knowledge would know the best way to go about it would be to yield to Biden’s victory, let him destroy America with his incompetence and defeat him in 2024 when it would be clear to everyone America was better off under Trump than Biden. But Trump is an outside the box, often rash thinker, and let his emotions get the best of him because he knew what was on the line. Now he’s created a situation for himself that would make it difficult to rise back to power, and he’s not so great at being subtle or behind the scenes. Trump overplayed his hand and it cost America. Not by opening a path to fascism in America as the left portrays it, but by making it all but impossible to give the American economy the strongest leader it’s ever had ever again.
Are there legitimate comparisons to be made between Trump and Hitler? Honestly , yes, they both made their homeland the strongest country on earth financially. But that’s where it ends. While Hitler promised never ending foreign war to expand German territory, Trump promised an end to foreign intervention and a focus on improvement at home. Hitler wanted to destroy the Jews, Trump wanted the strongest Jewish-American alliance in history. I believe it’s a fact that Trump admired strong, non-democratic leaders – their country’s gave them the power without the checks and balance we have in place, and he would have loved to have that kind of power – not for personal gain, Trump was already quite rich, he didn’t even take a salary as president, nothing he did as president was for personal financial gain – it was for American financial gain. And in a Democracy not everyone who votes is going to understand complex international politics or domestic policy- they mostly vote in self interest, not understanding that additional handouts for them could destroy the bigger picture, now all of a sudden that $1400 handout barely buy food and groceries for the month.
For all the blood thirsty leftists that wanna see Trump punished, get over it, it’s not gonna happen. He might be censored here and there because he has no filter when he talks, but because he has no filter, we know nothing Trump ever did was with malicious intent towards the USA, which means nothing he did as president is indictable under criminal law, and it’s a complete waste of time and money to try to prove otherwise. I never understood all the “Trump is liar” propaganda from the left – what other president has openly admitted to being racist, considers injecting bleach as a viable solution of killing corona virus, or any other number of astounding things that came out of his mouth as president- he wasn’t lying, he just never admits fault for anything, but he literally says anything and everything that comes to his mind. If any of it isn’t true, I promise he didn’t lie about it, it’s just really what he believes, like it or not.
There’s no doubt America would be much better of under Trump than Biden, but realistically that’s probably not gonna happen, never again, it’s too problematic for Republicans. It’s time for Republicans to find someone easier for the left to swallow that we can rally behind and unite this country once again, because division is our biggest problem right now. A country divided against itself cannot stand.
Thank you Mr Trump for doing a great job putting America first, but the best thing you can do for us now is help us find and fund a new standard bearer that the whole country can rally behind.
Thanks for listening and have a great weekend!
