Some accounts of #Trump’s approach to #trade, …identify William McKinley, 25th POTUS, as inspiration. Others suggest that #Hitler’s Germany, which pursued an economic policy of self-sufficiency, or #autarky, may be Trump’s real role model. Wherever he got his love of #tariffs & #protectionism, the intellectual antecedents of his approach go back to English mercantilist thinkers of the 16th & 17th centuries, who also viewed trade as a zero-sum enterprise in which one side wins & the other loses.

@dieKadda Genau, das erklärt vieles. Wäre #Hitler damals an der Kunstschule genommen worden, wäre viel Elend an der Welt vorbei gegangen.

Und so haben wir jetzt 'nen rummarodierenden #ElonMusk

The #Republican Party is a #RubberStamp for #Trump, just like the #Nazi Party was for #Hitler

@randahl Did you consider, that #trump does the damage tobthe #US people on purpose to create an environment like in 1933's #Germany. That was the way for #hitler to go. He may think, that a desperate people will follow him as the Germans did hitler. - Of course, if this is the "plan", it is flawed in so many ways.

@skykiss I wonder if #trump thinks, he just needs to make the US people desperate enough and they will follow him as the #Germans followed #hitler. All his "policies" kind of point into the direction to make the US people more desperate in every way. - If this is the "plan", trump miscalculated completely, in fact, the circumstances were very different.

Bestehende Ämter und Mandate hätten #Hitler (Urteil gestern vor 101 Jahren) im Prinzip aberkannt werden können. #Zuchthaus wär nach § 20 #RStGB nur bei »ehrloser #Gesinnung« statt der #Festungshaft möglich gewesen. Bei Festungshaft war auch Aberkennung der »bürgerlichen #Ehrenrechte« ausgeschlossen. [3/10]

#Verbrechen war seinerzeit alles mit Höchstmaß #Zuchthaus (implizit ≧ 1 Jahr) oder #Festungshaft ≧ 5 Jahre. Aber das ist erst seit 1970 der Bezug, drum hat auch #Hitler nichtmal seine #Amtsfähigkeit verloren. Eine #Strafrechtsreform ist in den 1920ern gescheitert (insofern ist auch die #Monarchie nicht getilgt worden), aber #Inflationsanpassung hats gelegentlich gegeben. [2/10]

When will the people of #USA finally put a stop to #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump‽
Invading Greenland is such nonsense! #TheOrangeMenace #Trump is getting ideas from #Putin's #Russian invasion of #Ukraine. Also, didn't #Hitler send #German troops to invade #Poland during #WWII?

@ai6yr

Your post is the best comedy post.

Hitler drives Tesla ClusterTruck around town to remind everyone how sane and supportable Tesla and Musk are.

Armed Proud Boys Terrorists whooping and screaming terrorise town to make them buy Swaticars.
