    What if it’s not about him not being able to come up with his own material but about him liking Hitler?

      It’s definitely both. Also, Stephen Miller is still one of his most trusted advisors and you KNOW that creep loves himself some Hitler!

        I’ve heard this before, but I have a hard time reconciling Trump’s public persona with someone who privately keeps a book on his nightstand.

          Oh, he’d keep books around that make him feel powerful or he thinks would make others feel that way about him.

          He doesn’t strike me as an avid reader.

        Well, they need to do a better job at it. This is just not dancing around the point.

    All he wants to do is yell incoherently in front of groups of people. He never stopped doing it even when he was in office.

    Take the moron off the ballot and let him fade away in semi crowded gyms yelling at clouds.

    I find it funny he can’t stack his background anymore with 3 token black men, now it’s just white men

      We rather use Night of Broken Glass or November pogroms, since crystal night sounds euphemistic.

      Sorry for the thought police moment

    "It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon. "

        Not exactly. Wonkette is more like Stephen Colbert, using factual news as the basis for mockery and derision aimed at the right. This article, for example, accurately quotes Trump on the horrifying “poisoning the blood” rhetoric, and then rips into him for it.
