No, I'm saying he seems like the kind of guy that would invite you over for a movie, slip in a copy of Taboo, and insist on rubbing your shoulders while watching it...kind of creepy
Trump is the closest to a megalomaniac like other fascist dictators that the world has seen. He's beyond creepy, he's scary!
DING DING DING DING
I predicted weeks ago that it would not be long before Trump would be called a fascist by the lefties.
Ok, Dave, deny it....refute it.....he fits the tag, and wears it with pride. The man is not sane, and should not be allowed near the White House.
Vs Hillary who proves daily she is not trustworthy, or Obama who has tried his damnedest to destroy everything the WH stands for?
And those lefties would be correct. He oozes totalitarianism and proudly steps on those who disagree with him.
Trump is now a "fascist dictator"? You have officially gone off the deep end.
"I could shoot someone and get more votes". Even if you think it (which is deranged), why do you say it?
Some of our "friends" are fuking unbelievable.... they are really into this political crap. They must have really boring lives.
He is what he is.....a megalomaniac dictator wanna-be. I didn't say anything about Hillary or Obama. But neither one of them make the comments like Trump does. Believe what you want, but Trump will destroy this nation. Worse than you ever thought Obama did.
I agree and so do many pundits on both sides of the aisle speaking publicly that he is taking a fascist approach in his politics. I do disagree he will destroy the nation. Cruz is much more dangerous as a candidate in my viewpoint and many others.
He will destroy this nation, and maybe the world. He will piss off a lot of people, create an even bigger divide, and very possibly leaders from other nations.
He is a fascist. If people do not believe it, or do not think that term is even in use today, then they are brainwashed like the Italians and Germans citizens were. It's not a Republican thing to me. I like Rubio. But Trump......scares me.
On what do you base "Trump will destroy this nation"? Do you have a valid source you would share? Is it from teaching you have received? If so, where, who, when?
I would offer a trail of success. Exceptional education. Has actually done something and provided employment for a few people. Appears to have honored the US Constitution. I do not see a basis for your comments.
You ask for proof of his comments. I'll offer you the same opportunity. Let's look at your points:
Exceptional education - Trump has an undergraduate degree from Wharton - he did his first 2 years at Fordham. How does that compare with the education level of the folks he's running against? How does that compare with the last several presidents? You can't cite his education as exceptional when compared against his peers.
When has he been in a position to honor or dishonor the Constitution? Those are rules for government, and he has no government experience. That's like saying that I've never run afoul of the law in Mongolia. The statement is absolutely true, but it has no bearing on anything since I've never been in Mongolia.
When I lived in the DC area, Tony Cheng's was a favorite place to hit when people came to visit. I haven't been there in over 15 years, so it might be crap now, but it was really good then.
Creepy, I would vote for Herman Munster, before I would vote for another smooth talkin, flat land salesman.
Umm....yeah, I don't know what it is. Never seen it before. Never studied it before. Dave, you are a moron. People can blast Obama for being "communist" or "socialist"....well, Trump is as close to a fascist as America has seen.
LOL. Go to work tomorrow and apoligize to your tech. He is probably making fun of you to his buddies.
Who "blasted" Obama for being a "communist" or "socialist"? Have you ever thought about seeking professional help for your paranoia. Please explain how Trump is a "fascist". Paranoia and Delusional Disorders are a BAD combination. It's no surprise that no one on this board takes you serious.
To answer part I: you must have been blind, deaf, or dumb to not have heard people calling Obama that back in 2008.
Hitler got power by delivering powerful speeches, mesmerizing the crowd while blaming Germany's problems on the Weimar Republic and the Jews. Trump delivers powerful speeches, mesmerizing the crowd while blaming America's problems on the Democrats and demonizing immigrants and Muslims. Hitler said that he is "loved" by Germans and everyone needs to support him and his beliefs and be part of the new "Reich". Trump says he's "loved" and everyone should get behind him to "make America great again".
The modern use of the word fascist is something akin to "bully". In that since Trump is a fascist. In a technical since Trump is nothing near a fascist.
I see what you mean. Anyone that can hold a crowd's attention, demonized his political opponents, and claim to be loved by the masses must be a fascist. That eliminates Hillary. She's boring.
Hitler had bad hair. Trump has bad hair. It was all right there and I missed. U r a fkn genius.
Never heard anyone call Obama a "communist" in 2008 or any year. I did hear some compare some of his ideas as leaning toward socialism. Comparing Trump to Hitler is beyond absurd, I'll just pass that off as pure ignorance on your part. Trump has never delivered a "powerful speech" , Obama is by far a much better orator than Trump. I guess you were always sleeping when your fellow Dem friends were always blaming America's problems on those bad Republicans......its called POLITICS my friend ....deal with it. And try dealing with reality. Trump NEVER demonized any LEGAL immigrants. The reality is that he called for dealing with the ILLEGAL immigrant problem. He also NEVER demonized Muslims, he only asked that America suspend the Syrian mass entries into our Country until a fuller vetting was performed.
Well, thank you very much for this generous offer you make me ................. . I fail to see why you bristle at his accomplishments. I have no idea in hell as to the education received by the candidates today or yesteryear. It has been reported that he finished #1 in his graduating class at Wharton - world recognized as a school of excellence. How do you compare as a peer? How about Obama? Reported outstanding grades - and then blocks access to them??? Does he have something in his academic lie to hide? He was too quick to block access for an honors grad, IMO. How do others stack up? I have no interest at all in researching, but you are certainly welcome/ invited to offer proof that I am Incorrect about a degree from Wharton.
Surely you are not saying only those in government are required to live within the parameters of the constitution? Wow. We all are given rights by the constitution, and the government rights were to defined or limited.
Trump graduated first in his class? I did research that one got you. It's not true. He graduated with no honors - not something that would be true if he were first in his class. I'm also not saying that means he isn't intelligent, but his education is not "exceptional" when compared to folks with advanced ivy league degrees.
Citizens are subject to the rules and rights provided by the Constitution. I can't personally deny you your rights under the Constitution.

I think I qualified the statement of #1 as being reported, and not to be a statement? Thanks for sharing. In the world of business, I would prefer a Wharton grad to average Ivy grad. I understand your lofty vision of an Ivy advanced degree, but if you were suggesting Obama in that, what did your research turn up on his individual grades? After Wharton, my preference run to MIT and Stanford, but I am WVU and MooU degrees and OK with that. I will imitate Obama and leave my grades secure for 50 years.
I think you made a reference to Trump honoring the Constitution as not a requirement for non governmental folks. I cannot see you validated your statement. Do you not agree that the Constitution was written to put limitations on the government? And citizens rights are not granted by the constitution. According to 10 it is all rights not given.

I'm not the one who called his education exceptional. You are. I'm pointing out that a single undergrad degree from Wharton (part of U of Penn, an ivy league school) is not exceptional when compared to others he is running against. Hillary went to Wellesley College (one of the highly respected 7 sisters) and Yale Law School. Carson went to Yale for undergrad and Michigan for medical school. Cruz got his undergrad from Princeton and law degree from Harvard. I don't think that makes Trump's education record "exceptional" in comparison.
You also said that he "appears to have honored the US Constitution." My point is that is a non-sensical claim with regards to someone not in government. A private individual can't deny you your Constitutional rights.
And remember, Neil and these others are the ones calling us "strawman" and things like that. Yet he comments about Trump being "1st in his class" when the facts do not support that. Hypocrite, perhaps?
