No, getting thrown into something where there is no answer, but, no one else want a hot pot

Hitler's third reich? Why not Stalin's Soviet Union or Mao's China?

Perhaps you should question why you find such comparisons offensive instead of curtailing my freedom of expression which is perfectly apt in this instance. Charismatic leaders with popular message can change the course of history. That's a fact.

The only common ground between Shicklgruber on the one hand and Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot to mention but a few, is mass killing.

But even that has a twist. The Nazis engaged in industrial means with the intent of wiping out an entire face of people.

But then, for the passive Jew haters none of that matters eh?

Re: Not easy being American with Trump

He doesn't speak that political speak....you know the 'let me be completely open and transparent about this' type of speak when all the time you know that's not going to happen....People are used to that nonsense from our politicians.....

Trump doesn't do that he hasn't learnt that in business he is a salesman ....so he tells it as it is but....tries to still get the sale by dressing it up a bit.... Doesn't always work.

I am so very grateful I don't live in the US where the president is an evil racist, guns are supreme, and many of the Christians are crazy extremists.

Not sure about Pol Pot but the others were charismatic leaders who said what people wanted to hear and gave them a taste of what they dreamt of to make them hungry for more. In Russia Stalin is still revered by many. What starts off as a seemingly good thing while gradually eroding civil liberties. People don't mind losing freedom so much when they get a little of what they always wanted.

I see nothing wrong with this POTUS. He is the least worst for many decades.
