I didn’t know it was Hitler but I knew after the first complete sentence that it wasn’t marmalade mussolini.
Zero chance he’s ever said anything that coherent.
Trump has people who can turn his demented ramblings into coherent texts so while this is certainly not something he’d come up with himself, it would be very in character for his administration.
At its most based level, this is fascism cliff notes plus dementia.
The worst part is, that’s how the majority of my generation passed school, and since we’re almost the youngest, we have the most.
Yeah, I genuinely thought that it was a excerpt of a press release from his regime. It would certainly be fitting to something that they would release and attribute to him.
“These crooked judges, who are never Trumpers, are CRIMINALLY GUILTY! Do you think, I have the best attorneys. They are really smart. They say to me, they say ‘Sir, how did you learn the law so much?’ You know I passed the bar? I could have been a lawyer. It’s true. We have the most wonderful law in the world and these ACTIVIST JUDGES think they are smarter than the American people?! I’m not allowed to say this because, you know, it’s not ‘politically correct’ but you know what I say? They are retards. Not very smart up there. I heard, you ready for this? Many of these lawyers only got I to law school because their parents were, you know…DEI acceptance! That’s crazy! I will make the legal system proud again!”
I hate that I can’t tell if this is real
If it were Trump, it would have said something more like:
You know the judges? Have you heard about these judges? Nasty people, these judges. You’ve never seen such judges before. I will put a stop to these judges.
No body goes after judges like I do, let me tell you. These judgesssssss, nasty people head tilt to the left and we’re gonna put a stop to 'em head tilt to the right.
You forgot: makes accordion motions with his hands.
I have the best judges, that I can tell you.
You forgot ‘activist judges’ is their favourite

Trump could never speak that well. And what was Hitler doing arresting Wisconsin judges?
That’s far to well spoken for trump.
If it doesn’t look like it could be written on a shit and ketchup smeared sticky note in crayon, it’s unfortunately gonna be pretty obvious.

Do you have a source for that I can show other people?
Here’s the snopes article with background on Hitler’s quote (apparently there a snopes article because some people posted this without the “just kidding” part.
Thank you. That’s got some interesting further context too.
Hitler delivered the speech in front of the Reichstag… right around the middle of World War II
So it’s not in the lead up when Hitler ‘might’ have appeared good to more people: the way people often compare Trump these days.
I myself am justified to refuse because since 1933 I have not taken three days’ leave — a fact which is probably not known to these individuals.
Sounds just like what Trump might boast! Or how Musk justifies that people should work long hours!
they are here for the nation, that is, the world, which includes Germany, must not decline in order that formal law may live, but Germany must live, irrespective of the contradictions of formal justice.
(Emphasis mine.) That’s the worrying similarity that stood out to me most.
The problem with the judiciary is that it never really had any teeth. It was just there to protect rich people and give the appearance of checks and balances. I mean, we keep impeaching these presidents, but I never see anything happen. And now Trump, supposedly a felon, is now the president. Also, I’m old enough to know that the quality of President continues to diminish, and I think that’s a reflection of our society as a whole. People are getting dumber and they are not capable of discerning a good speaker who thinks rationally versus somebody who is just impulsive, reactionary and just tells them what they want to hear. Like I know if I’m completely left to my own devices I’m gonna make stupid mistakes. That’s why I like laws and justified hierarchies. in more of a lateral and less hierarchical structure. I also emphasize the importance of clear communication because most of the world’s problems and conflicts are based upon people who know very little. And that’s why they’re used as dildos for the state… But at the same time as a libertarian socialist i think we, the people, need more liberty. And capitalism does not provide us with this. Also. What is free will, really? Relative to the hierarchy, the natural hierarchy, we are all bound by laws. Despite all my rage, I am still a rat in a cage. Sorry for my navel gazing. I was just thinking out loud.
I thought that sounded a bit too well spoken to be this fucking guy.
Not that I mean to give anything remotely representing a compliment to that other guy, of course.
Who the fuck could ever believe trump could string together a statement like that? The guy is mentally defective.
MAGA.

Yeah that Hitler dude was a pretty clever cat compared to Trump.
It’s a bit sudden. Has he started evicting judges from office yet?
Yes.
Rollercoaster down hill in slow motion, hell yeah ☠️ We’re cooked, pressure them with protests
Too obvious, Trump doesn’t speak that well.
I have to admit I was fooled, even though I"m sure Trump doesn’t know a word as big as evidently
I wouldn’t assume he even knows “shall.”
I’m not sure he can get “nation” out
Trump’s worldview is very similar to Hitler’s in many ways. The core similarity is that they both thought/think of everything in international relations as zero-sum.
There’s a lot to it that can’t be compressed into a readable Lemmy comment, but it’s pretty easy to find material.

Both of them staged a failed insurrection as well.
A key difference: Hitler survived on battlefields where he could die a horrible death. Trump lacks the suffering and hardship required to understand what is at stake if he plays the fascist game badly. I think that is going to be a major reason in why Fascist America would lose in the long run, since it doesn’t value competency in any respect. Even the Nazis had some competencies, despite being evil dickheads.

I am not. What I am saying is that he has experience with bloodshed, and the knowledge he could be a corpse if he played the wrong cards. Trump doesn’t understand consequences, because he has never truly risked anything.

I figured as much. It was too coherent for a long sentence to be dementia donald.
