The problem with that is that it kind of works with any President, although Trump has more fascist qualities than any President I can remember.

... if eastern Europe went main steam...

Everyone can say dont say Hitler but this is very close to what Germany went through back in the 30s in regards to Hitler getting into power on a technicality and then using outside money to curry favor with business and economy while building a scapegoat backlash.

The US was on the side of the assholes back then too... Ford .. and some of the big Banks

...of the real question which I imagine sparked it.

Something on the order of...
