This guy plans on being a dictator. Make America Russia should be his slogan.

(14,853 posts)I doubt Donald is pro-communist, despite his Russian connections. He isn't a "common ownership" person.
He's more akin to Hitler.

(8,000 posts)We have checks and balances. CEOs usually make the orders and others take the orders. They aren't accustomed to answering to anyone, especially if the company is privately held.
Trump thinks he can run his country like he runs his business (into the ground).

(25 posts)Local TV station just said they were going to air the entire speech, then threw in the statement that they would do the same if Hillary came here too, yeah right. Why would she want to come to the Klanhandle of FL? Time to walk the dogs.
My friend put on his Hillary shirt and went down there and hung out by one of the buses they use, got some looks but thankfully wasn't attacked, lol.

(11,686 posts)for several months to anyone who listens that Trump wants to be a dictator. The U.S.A will no longer exist. We will live in the C.O.T ( Corporation Of Trump. ) He will not be making decisions by himself because those brats of his will be helping and that scares the crap out of me.

(14,853 posts)Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitlers collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitlers speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
A Holocaust survivor see similarities between Hitler and Trump:

One of the things people used to say about Hitler when he rose to power in the early 1930s was that he was saying it like it is, my dad told me over the phone from Tel Aviv. They thought he was a bit of a clown, with his big speeches and over-the-top showmanship, but they also admired his ability to say what everyone thought, but didnt dare say out loud.
Once Hitler seized control (not democratically elected), one of his first actions was to limit freedom of speech... punishing anyone who spoke ill of the Nazis.
