Donald Trump Disputes Hitler Comparison

Trump Fights Back against Characterization as Nazi
by
Falls Flagg

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?"

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.
