The Trump administration is quietly waging an all-out regulatory war on a Biden-era corporate tax that aimed to prevent large companies from dodging their tax liabilities while reporting huge profits.The corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) was enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, Dem...
This guy is a genuine monster.
Monster doesn’t seem like a harsh enough word for what he is.
Sometimes I wonder if Hitler was a similar person. It’s hard to know because of how different we see leaders today. It’s not just some news article you read or some speech every once in awhile. We get constant exposure and also constant exposure to so many different people talking about them in different ways.
Like, I don’t think Trump is like Hitler. Not in the way we think of Hitler from the way he’s taught in history. But, materially, he is creating extremely similar results. I don’t see Trump as very passionate on his hatred or racism. Like, I think he’s more concerned with what being racist and hateful gets him.
I don’t know where I was going with this thought. But I guess my point is that it’s weird to see a modern day leader implement almost verbatim the same policies and propaganda as the Nazis did. While, idk, being so incredibly, almost, apathetic about it? He seems to be so focused on only what benefits him and gets other rich people to like/respect him. Which is odd, at least in comparison to how we think of fascist leaders of the past. Most being portrayed as extremely passionate about their hatred. Maybe he’s just old? His heart seems less in causing pain but more so, apathetic about it, as long as it benefits him in some way.
I mean, Hitler at least seemed to be coming at things from a place of misguided patriotism.
Man, I feel gross just writing that out, but I think it’s true — I think I respect Hitler more than Trump.
I think he might be a worse person than Hitler. He just doesn’t have the complete and total control that he did. Yet.
I know it’s cliche, but Hitler painted and loved dogs. Trump doesn’t have an artistic bone in his body, and by all accounts he hates pets. All pets.
The only thing I’ve heard about Trump that sounds like he has an ounce of humanity is he has a good relationship with his grandchildren. His granddaughter talked about him at the national convention and he sounded like a pretty normal grandfather
Maybe believing they are passionate in their hatred is what allows us to,sleep at night. If they are blasé about it, then maybe anyone can be hitler.
