I mean to me they’re not even people, it’s so so sad, I mean morality’s just gone, um, morality’s flown out the window, we deserve so much better than this as a country…
Morals. Morality. Morals.
Trump cheats contractors and workers out of money he owes them.
Trump attacks people on Twitter, thus inspiring some o-f his millions of followers to pile on Trump’s targets.
Trump has been accused of various forms and degrees of sexual assault many times.
Trump settled fraud claims against his “university” – really just a seminar to teach real estate tricks – for $25 million before he took office.
Trump charged his son hugely inflated prices for charity events at his golf club.
From what one can tell by combing the news sources, Trump has never done a moral thing in his life. He demands loyalty from others but provides none himself. He bullies, he abuses, he exploits, he takes revenge; he cheats, he lies, he insults. He’s morally beneath contempt.
Eric Trump has a fucking nerve.
When I told my husband about what Eric said, he said that’s what the Nazis said about the Jews. My husband, a professional historian, has been hesitant to make any Nazi comparisons (he’ll consider Mussolini comparisons with Trump, which he has considered quite valid, but drew the line at Hitler). This is the first time he’s said that. And he’s right.
I expect we’ll be having to sign loyalty oaths again any day now. I was required to sign one when I took a state job for the first time in 1981; I was young and didn’t think that much about it. It was just part of the whole packet of stuff I had to sign. I don’t imagine I could do that again. I know way too much now.
I think it’s been fair all along to make some comparisons to the early days of the Nazis, and to some of their use of rhetoric, and the like. Blanket comparisons to Hitler no, but specifics? Not only justifiable but necessary, in my view.
Yes, I agree. But I think the constant overuse of Hitler comparisons – Obama, Dubya, etc – has probably led to a lot of caution. Hitler has become like love, hate, and other emotion words that are thrown around like candy. Nowadays “Hitler” seems to mean, to a lot of people, someone I think is really, really wrong.
True.
The Trump family seems determined to eclipse the classic definition of “chutzpah,” i.e., the nerve it takes for someone who has murdered his parents to plead for mercy on the grounds that he’s an orphan.
It’s always been pretty clear that the Trumps and their supporters don’t consider others (women, minorities, immigrants, scientists, responsible public servants…) to be people.
