Hitler didn't do that creepy thing Trump does with his thumb and forefinger; he gestured with clenched fists. But the ranty tone is pretty similar.

he looked exactly like a faith healer type evangelist, or a prosperity preacher, or someone like Jimmy Swaggart. Con man through and through. They know their moves and they know just the right words to say to get the crowd to react. They have the crowd in the palm of their hands. They walk up and down, up and down and pause just the right way and bring the Glory coming down!

I expected him to take up a collection at the end and make an altar call.

Heck even the hair fits. Slick, oily con man. How can they not see it?

Someone wrote that a lot of them don't believe what he's saying either, but just love hearing him stick it to the liberals and the media. He's their man against the "establishment", whatever that is, coming from someone who happens to be President.

If you believes he reads. Maybe he just watches DVDs. He certainly has the messianic thing down.
