There are two ways to handle this story. One can use it as a head-shaking example of the fact that Trump was not only the least educated president in history, but also incapable of learning, even as life went alone. But we cannot do the story with a focus on Trump’s lack of real education, it has to be something angrier and more focused upon the cruelty because even if some sick fck like Trump admires Hitler for being “famous,” it is the complete lack of any sort of empathy and respect that is the story.

When we think about what happened in those camps, you can imagine that the victims had to hope for three things. First, they would hope that all the Germans involved would be punished, even “following orders.” Second, they would hope that it would be remembered throughout history and not just a footnote. Last, they would want it handled with the utmost respect with regard to their suffering such that no one forgets and everyone cares, for as long as we remember such things. We have accurate history that goes back to ancient Rome, this should never be forgotten and should always be spoken with respect and never detachment.

That is the focus on Trump’s true incapability of all three, then put the admiration of Hitler’s “fame” and you have one of the sickest ffffff in all of history, at least one of the sickest who didn’t do what Hitler did, and we think that Trump was capable of much much – nearly anything if he wasn’t constrained at least a little. It got to a point where his A.G.’s said “No,” they were not going to “find fraud” for him. There were still massive constraints on Trump. If there were none, like with Hitler, who really knows whether Trump might’ve constrained himself.

So let’s read the paragraph below from Douglas Brinkley, the famed historian, and read it in consideration of all the above:

“Donald Trump… is a bit of an imbecile and has no sense of history. The late writer Norman Mailer used to tell me that, in history, only a few names get known. So, you know, Andy Warhol would paint Mao Tse Tung or Elvis Presley. I think Trump always wanted to be in that class of a known name.

“He never took the time to notice that you don’t want to be considered with Mao or Mussolini or Hitler in any way, shape, or form. He saw them more as celebrities.

Other than saying he never takes any time to consider anything but himself, and thus fails in every way, there’s nothing left to add.
