There is one thing about Trump that we should never let be forgotten because

[Atticus]

it defines him in a way that is perhaps simpler and more clear-cut than any other.

Trump has openly and repeatedly expressed admiration and respect for and---some would say---envy of the likes of Putin, Duterte, Mohammed Bin Salman and Kim Jong Il. He has complimented them for their "strong leadership" and claimed them as friends.

In language even Trump can understand, these men are four of the most despicable murdering monsters on the face of the earth today. That is not an opinion; it is a widely known fact. That Trump feels compelled to fawn over them is all the proof anyone should need that Trump is cut from the same cloth. That he has not yet become a dictator like them is due to his cowardice, not his morality.

He needs to be stepped on.

1. Putin hates the United States

[Alacritous Crier]

2. Also...

according to his first wife, Ivana, he kept a copy of “My New Order – A Collection of Speeches by Adolf Hitler" on his nightstand for frequent reading.

He denied this at the time of the divorce but, from his modus operandi, I'd say it's spot on. He uses Hitler's techniques like a master even with approx. half the IQ Hitler had.

12. This was an interesting blog article before the election about this.

14. Except he never reads. I bet it was for looks. nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

3. You're correct!

He's made his nature pretty clear this whole time.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. The Pig wants to be America's Putin. A new level of power to feed the sick f**k's pathology.

[Skittles]

5. Trump is a dictator-wannabe

do we really have any doubt Trump would have his critics jailed / executed if he could? He is SICK.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. He drools

whenever anyone "disappears" or "falls out a window" in Russia after criticizing Putin.......especially journalists......

He can hardly wait for Nov 4th, when he becomes the "Tyrant of America".......He worships Putin, the head of the Saudi's, and his hero over in North Korea.......

[luvtheGWN]

18. The list should include

Brazil's Bolsonaro and Turkey's Erdogan.

[LastDemocratInSC]

6. It's possible that his insecurity causes him to fear them and he is seeking their protection.

Like a wanna be mobster who sucks up to the big boss.

[Wounded Bear]

7. ...and his Trumplodyte followers love him for it...

I remember that about them too.

[smirkymonkey]

8. K&R

[struggle4progress]

9. He wants your old relatives to die. And he wants them to die alone, because

you're unwilling to risk infecting them by visiting. And because he is a man who has never really experienced love and loyalty, he enjoys causing this suffering

[world wide wally]

10. ...and stepped on repeatedly

[safeinOhio]

11. Might ask your local Tea Bagger

if he would like to the same rights trumps favorite countries enjoy.

[MissMillie]

13. Well... they could always

opt to not have one.

[speaknow]

16. speaknow

Trumps goal is to past all of them murder's as the most,
and he's off to a good start!

[Lonestarblue]

17. Yes, Trump often uses the word strong in his language.

He talks about being strong and strong leaders and feeling strongly about something. I suspect that his notion of strong means the authority to do anyone he wants, legal or otherwise. He isn’t as strong as Putin and MBS because he lives in a country that still has a few laws, but I think he would love the power they have to kill journalists who get in their way.

[ancianita]

19. He loves them because they've beaten their people down, which is what he's working on.

It's not as much that he fawns over them, per se, as that he admires their complete dominance over their countries, and how they've cowed their people into cynicism and despair.

Theirs are nations of men, which is the nation he wants. He has not yet become a dicktater like them due to our legal system and we Americans not letting him. We are a nation of laws.

Thanks for your posts, Atticus. There's so much not to forget that sometimes the most important of it gets crowded out as his genocidal reality tv drama unfolds.

20. Dance Donald, dance!

Dance Donald, dance!

[Capt. America]

21. He needs to be arrested.

[The Wizard]

22. He used to have a book with

Hitler's speeches on his night stand. It relaxed him before retiring for the evening, reinforcing his Nazi tendencies.

23. and let's not forget the volunteering of sensitive intelligence to the Russian foreign minister

in the middle of the Oval Office

oh that's right, that has been forgotten?

We have a president who does not know that you are not supposed to do that.

That bears repeating. The president of the United States does not know that you're not supposed to do that.

And it was big news for what, two, three days?

The fact that he did that at all, by itself, should be disqualifying. The fact that we are not even talking about it at all is even worse. Why are we not talking about it? Because give trump ten minutes, and he we do something else so stupid and corrupt that it will make you forget about that last stupid and corrupt thing he did.

We MUST make things like this front and center during the campaign.

It should be easy. Just ask any fence sitting voter that you encounter, would this incident have been so quickly forgotten if Obama had done it?
