Recent photographs of GOP candidate, Donald Trump, with his arm outstretched while talking about excluding Muslims from entering the United States, have generated a number of comparisons between Trump and hated German WWII Fuhrer Adolf Hitler.
In response to those drawing the comparison, Trump spoke today, saying, "I'm nothing like Adolf Hitler. He was a petty tyrant who hated Jews. I'm a very, very rich man who has nothing against the Jewish religion at all. I hate it when people compare me with Hitler. I prefer to think of myself more like the benevolent Italian leader, Benito Mussolini. Like me, he was a self-made man. Everyone knows that I love Italy and Italians."
He continued, "As President of the United States, I will keep Muslims out of America, not Jews. I'm nothing like Hitler. If people keep comparing me to him, I will file lawsuits against media companies that do that. I'm very good at winning lawsuits, you know. Why do you think I'm worth billions?"

Hope he has a lot of lawsuits ready. Guess he doesnt understand much about being a public figure.

Except maybe as a reality TV star.

And he'll scream that from the rooftops.
The old aphorism of God being a comedian with an audience afraid to laugh is ringing true.

he pats himself on the back (Ex. I am a very, very rich man), take a shot. Just don't come into work the next day.
