Trump quotes Putin and Hitler at NH rally.

Last edited Sun Dec 17, 2023, 08:26 AM - Edit history (1)

America has a rotten political system - Ask Putin ; Outsiders poison the blood - Ask Hitler. Donald Trump was in not-so-rare form addressing a rally at Durham, NH.

Trump, Quoting Putin, Declares Indictments ‘Politically Motivated Persecution’

Trump said during a rally in Durham, N.H. on Saturday that the charges against him were proof of a failing American democracy.

Mr. Trump made the comment during a campaign speech in Durham, N.H., in which he focused on pocketbook concerns of voters, hammered the state’s Republican governor, who endorsed one of his rivals, mocked his lower-polling competitors for not performing better and painted a dystopian vision of a country in “hell” under his successor, President Biden.

“Even Vladimir Putin says that Biden’s — and this is a quote — politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia, because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy,” Mr. Trump said as he railed against the 91 criminal charges he is facing, citing Mr. Putin speaking in September.

Mr. Trump added: “So, you know, we talk about democracy, but the whole world is watching the persecution of a political opponent that’s kicking his ass. It’s an amazing thing. And they’re all laughing at us.”

'Poisoning the Blood' - A nearly direct quote of Hitler's Mein Kampf

"During his speech at a campaign event held at the Whittemore Center Arena in Durham, New Hampshire on Saturday, Donald Trump did a repeat performance of only slightly paraphrased Hitler rhetoric which garnered backlash when he first debuted the material back in October.

Speaking to a crowd of MAGA supporters, Trump said, "We got a lot of work to do. They're poisoning the blood of our country," which MTN points out is a near direct quote to a line in Hitler's Mein Kampf: "All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning."

"They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world," Trump said this weekend. "Not just in South America. Not just the three or four countries we think about. But all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia. All over the world. They're pouring into our country. Nobody's even looking at them, they just come in.""

Trump did not mention Hitler by name, he did not have to. Every Nazi worth his Swastika knows the spiel.

Voters who belong to a movement usually beat voters for a politician. Trump has 2 movements behind him. When he channels Hitler and Putin he is channeling the White supremacist, the Dictatorship over democracy movement. Trump also has the "pro-life" movement.

President Biden has the pro-women's healthcare movement.

Democrats need to organize a pro-democracy movement across the country and contrast the differences between democracy and Dictatorship governments. People like Taylor Swift should get involved and we need to do it now.

We fought regular Soviet pilots and ground advisors in both. Many of them were killed by Americans.

There are plenty of countries with dictators and autocrats that we are not bombing the shotbout of.

IF, and this is a big IF, Dems ditch the high road and drag Donnie's flaccid, fetid ass through the gutter where he belongs. Our party has the money, we have the creativity and the talent. Break out the figurative brass knuckles and destroy the sombitch once and for all. Nothing is off limits. Everything is fair game. I think much of America is receptive. They're weary of his bullshit. We just have to show them in no uncertain terms how f'ing bad he actually is.

but I don't see it. But this is what I said

This morning my brother called me he lives in Floriday voted for trump was pissed and started talking about how much he hated trump. He used words against trump that made me think that finally he's coming home. In any event I went over to Cspan to watch the video. AFter a few minutes I couldn't watch it anymore. I am 66 and my brother is 68, growing up we used to watch the twilight zone. We also watch the twilight zone every news years eve when the do the 24 hours of the twilight zone. As I was watching the rally I swear to god my body started shaking. All I could think of was the twilight zone episode of "He's alive". I am still shaking and a bit afraid for my grandchildren. You guys if you don't know what I am talking about you have to watch it. The twilight zone that is.

in the thread that you can't find. Someone posted that clip from the Twilight Zone. Again, believe him when he says something cause he is that sick he will do it. He's a traitor to the US, he's an Russian asset. I truly believe that. Plus, he hates being held accountable by the law.

Here is the thread:
