Former US ambassador to EU: Trump reminds me of Mussolini

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Anthony Gardner said in an interview Monday that President Trump reminds him of former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

Gardner told Jack Blanchard, the editor of Politico's London Playbook, that he is "troubled" by Trump's "language" and "playbook."

"For a couple of years, I was troubled by many things that Donald Trump shares with Benito Mussolini, someone my Italian grandparents fled from in 1938," Gardner said in the interview.

Gardner, who served as ambassador under former President Obama, also commented on Trump's reaction to the protests over police brutality and treatment of minority populations following George Floyd's death after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck during an arrest as Floyd told him he could not breathe.

Well many call him the Mango Mussolini.

1. And of course Mussolini ended up strung upside down from a light pole in Milan

The people of Milan liked this so much they moved him to another location so more people could see him and strung him up again.

2. Now we know where Mussolini's soul went after his death.

Mussolini died in 1945. Mango was born in 1946.

7. Hmmm. Interesting.

I could have sworn they were one and the same. Kind of makes me believe in reincarnation after all. I just hope that Trump ends up the same way.

His thuggy supporters, his fake appeal to Populism, his ridiculous rallies, his puffed up opinion of himself, his skirt chasing. Ugh.

9. He was a repulsive human being.

Utterly contemptible in every way and a complete suck-up to Hitler and Mussolini. It's a shame he got off so easily due to his connections and his station in life. He is one person that deserved to be assasinated.
