Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’
The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

It’s Cluster B. Alternative reality. Never to blame. They almost need enemies to work on to be themselves. Gaslight or verbally abuse those in disagreement lest your private reality break. No empathy. Chases power over scenarios.
We’re living inside the reality of a mental illness. And because it goes to the highest office, the fuckery is exponentially more.
so basically fascism.
This literally the “israeli” government. Yet we see the Democrats administration, willing to defend that. If the US government in principle is happy supporting a Nazi government; i feel that it reflects well having 2/3 of the population being happy with a Nazi government themselves.
The Israeli government is being fascist, and has been for a long time. Thank you for calling it out. Sad to see the down votes because Palestinians have been locked in Israel's cage with no freedom for decades, and Lebanon is next. Hopefully society starts to shift in its outlook and complicity.
You hit the nail on the head too. So many people cannot support Democrats during this election because although they call for freedom and justice, they also call for arms transfers and no repurcussions for Netanyahu countlessly dissolving freedom and justice for Palestinians.
Voting for Democrats, unfortunately, boils down to "rights for me, not for thee", and the only difference between that sentiment and what you might find in Conservatives is that Democrats hold that distinction between all Americans and those from other countries. Conservatives hold that between different groups of Americans.
Really sours any hope I had for Kamala overtaking Biden
Read the whole and thing and, wow. It's just unbelievable to me that people can support this man so fervently.
I guess it's what happens when you give people permission to be completely selfish and devoid of empathy. He's a fucking psychopath.
It’s what happens when you get your news in parts of the country where Fox and Sinclair own the airwaves. They make immigrants and democrats seem terrifying.
add in some social media for the younger people and bam, recipe for fascism.
Not psychopathy. But narcissistic personality disorder. If you know anyone who has lived with one, they can tell you it’s on the verge of psychopathy.
It’s crazy behavior and crazy talk because it’s mental illness, probably somewhere around 60 years untreated mental illness. And hallmarks of NPD are maintaining a personal alternative reality, mentally tearing apart anyone disagreeing with that alternative reality, and no empathy.
I’m sick to death of no one talking about it and calling it what it is. We can talk about Biden’s dementia but not this?
I agree 100%. Not sure if it'll helps you feel better but I'm "the" other person that has been saying this along with you lol. I'm a psychology geek and it is so completely obvious that's what he has imo. I have noticed over the years that people don't "get" NPD because it's so counter-intuitive to a functioning human though.
I would actually argue that NPD is on average more dangerous than the ASPDs like psychopathy and sociopathy because it implicitly involves other people. Psycho/sociopaths want "something" and will do anything to get it but sometimes that thing they want may be fairly harmless. Like maybe they sometimes they just stuff so they're thieves. Not great, but mostly a victimless crime. Narcissists specifically want admiration and to prop up that fragile sense of self but that always specifically involves other people, so they're always going to be in proximity with others where the ASPDers may not.
Tldr, the doom Cheeto is a POS with NPD and I will lose exactly zero sleep the day he dies.
Its just standard brainwashing. It’s not even complicated. It’s all right out in the open.
It sucks sharing a world with terrorists.
Is he aware that Germany lost?
Pretty sure he would consider murdering millions of Mexicans as a win, even if it ends with a bullet to his temple.
Ya know I realise this is complete conspiracy theory.
However, I'm still willing to give a 2-5% chance that if Trump gets back into power, within the last 12-18 months of his presidency he'll declare a special operation into North Mexico to 'secure the border', 'stop the illegal immigrants' and 'remove the drug cartels'.
Then he'll claim it's too dangerous to hold the election, or not appropriate, or whatever excuse because of the special operation. And then he'll postpone the election with the approval of the SC as a presidential duty and therefore not illegal.
And I know this is insane but every time I ask myself "would trump attempt something like this?" The answer is always "yes"
Germany mainly lost by losing the economics and resources games. A secondary factor was when Hitler started taking over strategic and tactical planning from the generals.
My take on the generals themselves is that they were at least not terrible.
Economic and resources problems are part in parcel with a despot with a desire for absolute loyalty.
Dont understand why you get downvoted, as I assume you mean that the generals wrwe not strategical and tactical terrible. Think most historians will agree that Hitlers direct involvement in the war was a growing issue in conducting the war. Also Hitler stayed in power by making sure that the levels below him were at each others throats and not able to challenge him directly. Nazi Germany was not technically on a war economy until Speer took over, and the amount of corruption was immens.
Hitler ended up firing most of his generals. Then he shot himself.
Hitler's best generals tried to kill him.
Unfortunately this did not happen very quickly. The years leading up to it were pretty awful.
"Bad ones, weak enough to listen to me"
Exactly, sure ones that just don't let him do dumb shit would be nicer but its nice to know that if he does somehow succeed in becoming a dictator he's going to speedrun his way to the coked up hitler making terrible micromanaging decisions stage. Should be enough to balance out the brute force of the US armed forces when the rest of the world is trying to defend itself.
I read this entire article, and it made me sad. Because the guy's probably going to win. The people who need to read this article simply won't, and they will continue to believe what he tells them.
The people who need to read the article would, and then complain that it's all lies to denigrate Trump. It's a sick joke that I have family members who, "respect the military and those who serve", but continue to tout Trump as a Messianic figure to save America. The brainwashing/rot is real.
They're going to agree.
the only trump supporters who would bother reading this article are the ones who would be happy to hear trump invoke hitler.
Let's help make sure he doesn't win. Make sure that dems turn out to vote!
The people who need to read this article simply won’t
I mean, its definitely delusional, but its also not out of line with the kind of delusional asshats this country has scattered throughout our body politic. The whole reason we invaded Iraq in '03 was because we had these kinds of Generals. And back then, even Trump was saying how this shit was dumb and would end badly. Now we've got half a dozen proxy wars stretching from Ukraine to Yemen to the Philippines - spanning two different presidencies no less - and it seems as though Trump is campaigning on a few more. But then Harris is out campaigning with Liz Cheney who also wants a few more wars.
This, while living in a country that can't go four years without diving into another international conflict.
Goddamn. And he's potentially president a second time.
Trump has already caused significant damage. If he wins, we can expect things to get really bad.
But even if he loses, look at what he's done. He truly believes personal gain is the only thing someone should ever value. There is no justice for someone like that, other than taking it all away. Forcing him to realize that humanity has only survived because we can work together for collective gain.
based on the latest data, it's likely he's going to get it.
Can't wait to hear how this gets sane washed.
"He meant to say genitals!"
Look no further:
what's his obsession with ballsacks about? wasn't he just talking about Arnold Palmers junk, now this? kinda sus...
Don Trump's only got one ball
There was no evidence of election irregeluarities in 2020, and Trump's "deny everything, and always claim victory" has included admissions by him that there was no evidence, but the philosophy was more important. Generals supporting sending an army to assist insurection, or other unconstitutional acts such as rounding up all Haitians in a city, because a neighbour reported their cat missing, with suspicion of one neighbour (cat came back next day).
This is as serious of a concern as his promise to provide absolute immunity to all police abuse. Israel's token concession to ICJ to prosecute rape torture of prisoners, would turn out the same in USA, if Trump supremacists destroy everything with immunity, and those not happy about Trump fascism get fascisted.
There was plenty of evidence of election irregularities. People have gone to jail for stuffing extra votes for Trump.
He means the ones that got tired of hitler and tried to kill him.
Not because they disagreed with him morally or anything of course. They just thought that they could do a better job.
Tbf, British high command agreed that the potential replacements, which included his best generals, would have been better at leading the nazis. They also realised hitler would kill them all when he found out.
Still, shame they found out though hey?
Even if they didn't agree morally they certainly took part in it. Killed in his name and in his vision.
Don't you think he looks tired?
No problem dude, we'll put a few of them on your upcoming juries.
Wow, tankies may actually drop the mask and openly support their orange hero
I don't like those losers. I like the generals who knew where to put the suitcase.
What?
As long as they are like von Stauffenberg I would be okay with it.
Personally none of the things this article says surprise me. But unfortunately, the author doesn't seem to provide any sources for Trumps statements, only the denials of those statements. Idk if people are just scared and want to remain anonymous or what but it loses integrity when people refuse to identify themselves or rather when A reporters article doesn't have sources like this.

Better than someone losing their life for not remaining anonymous IMO.
Won't argue that.
peace loving guy who definitely won't start an unwinnable war
I maybe be crazy and just have a little to much 'MERICA running through my veins, but I honestly think of the US was to go all out against absolute everybody right now it wouldn't be one sided either way
This is what the GOP wants for our future.
His MAGA flock will love him more. He is sticking it the Liberals. Making them cry.
3 years from now they'll be crying again "he's hurting the wrong people"
Why? There's not a world war. Unless he's planning for one.
If he wins, expect one. That powder keg is already primed.
Yeah we already know he thinks nukes are not for deterrence, they're for using. The fucker suggested using one on bad weather. It's a real concern. Thing is, it's trump we gotta worry about right now, but if he doesn't get elected the right wing will find themselves another trump and that one will probably be smarter. Would be hard to be dumber. Scary shit.
But he's NOT a Nazi!
A bunch of losers?
Nah, ones that try to kill you.
You don't deserve the kind of generals Hitler had. That's why you have JD Vance and Elon Musk.
Isn't he up to destroy the USA? And rebuild it brand new like he wants it to be? 'All hail the emperor King Donald, 1st'?
Ugh…
I mean..
Looking up from a history text book
I want you to have the kind of Hitlers General had...
Especially the ones like this guy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_von_Stauffenberg
Probably don't wanna be the ones like this guy though - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_R%C3%B6hm
Have you forgotten yet?
He's going to fire all the generals we have that are better than Hitler's because they've learned from 50 extra years of warfare. He'll be left with generals that are worse than Hitler's.
He needs to get kicked in the cunt.
I read that as genitals...
