There is no shortcut here. There is no way to speed the process up. There are no palms to grease, no officials to wink at, no inspections to fudge. Needy Amin's bottomless impatience and craving for adulation will cause more deaths unless he is reined in.

I’ve heard a few times before. Trump thinks he can make things so by “force of will”. Those of you who read about WWII will remember that was exactly what Hitler thought. Just like Hitler, the orange menace will kill many. Probably not as many as Hitler, but it won’t be for lack of trying.

Comparisons to Hitler are tossed around awful loosely, and generally are a species of argument by hyperbole.

This one is correct, and meaningful, pointing to a genuine identity in approach to the world.

I’d often be accused of being hyperbolic. But there really are a great many similarities. People also compare him to Mussolini, who I don’t know that much about. In his case I guess it’s more about appearance and mannerisms.

It's likely the only book he's ever read, outside of the Two Corinthians version of the Bible, of course.

The WH briefing room is just too confining for the POS, what with all those "nasty," "fake news" black female reporters, Dr. Birx and her scarves and Little Fauci contradicting him every time he tells another lie.

Yessiree folks, Dr. Trump's traveling shit show will be back out on the road again, coming soon to a city near you, spreading Covfefe-19 to one and all, sponsored by the makers of Hydroxychloroquine.

His daily “pressers” sort of fill the void of the rallies, but it’s not all thousands of adoring fans and once in awhile he gets hit with a real question.
