trump would have been so enthralled by Nazi hatred that he would suck up to Hitler just as Pence does to him. I believe Mein Kampf is his favorite book (maybe the only book he has ever read). What trump is doing to Hispanics is very similar to how the Nazis treated Jewish People early in the Third Reich.

It seems similar, and I'll readily agree that ICE is out of control. However, Hispanics who are citizens of the United States are not being systematically murdered by being rounded up and gassed or shot in ditches. Nor are citizens being rounded up en masse and forced into labor camps. That was how the Nazis treated Jews, homosexuals, the Roma, Jehovah's Witness, the mentally disabled, and other so-called "undesirables."

there was no gassing or mass shooting. There were boycotts and hidden concentration camps. Hispanics are dying now, definitely not in the number that was eventually done to Jewish People, but still, it is happening. The German People were conditioned by years of propaganda to accept the eventual treatment of the Jewish People. Genocide did not start overnight, it was a gradual process.

I think Trump wants to remake America as an apartheid state - in the manner of the old RSA, or modern-day Israel. Undesirable groups will be kept outside walls.

There is no telling how far he will go if allowed. The Nazi's didn't start off throwing people into camps. It was a slow build up.

Those two seem like self-indulgent, vapid, amoral peas-in-a-pod.

And there was the German-American Bund holding pro-Hitler rallies in NYC.

Also remember that, realistically until the 60s, America was in many ways an apartheid nation. Even in states like California where there was not official segregation as there was in the south, there was redlining that forbade African Americans from purchasing real estate in certain areas. Schools were segregated in parts of the nation (officially) until 1967.

...and the movement of information about the transfer of that oil so that the tankers didn't get bombed was epic. Franco, among others, got his oil -- and none got through to Spanish resistors.

That's only one piece of it, but yes, it's a dark part of the history of multinational corporations. They owe allegiance to no particular countey or political system.

In the late 1930s, a lot of America's rich invested with Hitler because they believed he was good for business.

There were some serious anti-Semites in the USA (Henry Ford was one), but Trump seems far more interested in what those groups can do for him than in what he can do for them.

When it comes to Trump, follow the money.

not liking this democracy stuff - still true today. Compounded by their ocd need for still more wealth, power. 'Follow the money' has a long history of wars, empires, theories [mercantilism quickly comes to mind, manifest destiny, this list would be mind boggling].

in Trump's world, but winning and losing do.

And he must have known those who fought - and who lost loved ones. And when he went to military school, which he apparently really bonded with, WWII must have been discussed prominently in his classes.

probably Munich and Nuremberg also among many other "business" deals.
