Scratching my head for days..who? Who fits the profile?
"Fred Sanders - if that is your real name - you know this!", I said.
Days turned into weeks, images of Trump kept leaping at me from my TV and IPad screens daily uninvited, often with no warning...and still I could not make any connection. Not that it drove me insane or anything, a lot of other stuff has a better shot at that than Tump, but, still....
But finally, I got it!
Benito Mussolini, el fresco
Donald Trump, as God intended
Benito Musslini, el delecto
Burrito Trump
It was Trump's wig that had thrown me off!

(20,166 posts)Fred Koch, father of David and Charles, was one of the first members of the John Birch Society, an organization based in Wichita, Kan., that was known for its anti-civil rights campaigns and spreading paranoia about communism, according to the Progressive. Fred Koch, according to the New Yorker, had this to say about communists and African Americans:
In a self-published broadside, Koch claimed that the Communists have infiltrated both the Democrat and Republican Parties. He wrote admiringly of Benito Mussolinis suppression of Communists in Italy, and disparagingly of the American civil-rights movement. The colored man looms large in the Communist plan to take over America, he warned. Welfare was a secret plot to attract rural blacks to cities, where they would foment a vicious race war. In a 1963 speech that prefigures the Tea Partys talk of a secret socialist plot, Koch predicted that Communists would infiltrate the highest offices of government in the U.S. until the President is a Communist, unknown to the rest of us.
