If not for that tape,

is that this tape is so in character with everything we know about Trump. The fact that people were willing to ignore his traits before is amazing.

Social conservatives, pro-monarchists, and big business elites all thought they could control Hitler and his movement. He was appointed chancellor with the idea that he would oppose unions, socialists, liberals and such, but leave the conservative elites alone to spend their money.

We all know what happened after that.
