"what you think of this assessment of the man's primary rules"

Now let's first state that these rules aren't Trump's but instead Hitler's. Well not even Hitler's but something someone wrote about Hitler.

So, as Harry Hoo (Get Smart) used to say, "three possibility"

1. SR doesn't know its about Hitler and has fallen for some site which convinced him it was Trump. Given he's fallen for quite a bit these past few years, that doesn't seem unlikely.

2. He knows its not about Trump but hoped to trick me into defending it only to spring his trap. Another fail?

3. He knows its about Hitler but hoped to slide it through to convince his compatriots in TDS into thinking this was Trump's thinking.

Either way, we need to find a new adjective to describe SR somewhere between dill and childish.

Belly,

So no effort to work out how you've been misled all these years. No effort to find new and better sources. Just more of the same. Keep doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result. Not a good plan.

Dear mhaze,

Lol.

You could hardly have rejected that assessment out of hand by saying it obviously didn't describe your president at all could you?

The fact that you had to instead go and research its providence is good enough for me old boy.

Here is another quote from the same document;

"What is known as the mastery of material was quite unimportant to him. He quickly became impatient if the details of a problem were brought to him. He was greatly adverse to experts and had little regard for their opinion. He look upon them as mere hacks..."

Bloody uncanny in anyone's book. All good fun.

Dear Steelie,

" If you repeat a lie often enough people will
believe it and you will even come to believe it
yourself". These words were first offered by
Joseph Goebbels, propaganda maestro for Nazi
Germany who ensured Hitler's rise to power.
Hitler used it in "Mein Kempf."

This Nazi tactic is alive and well at the White
House. Donald Trump's thousands of falsehoods,
references to "fake news" and more, illustrate
this clearly. It started with the man's exaggeration
of the Inaugural crowd numbers and has not stopped
since.

As for mhaze?

His prose is always punchy, and even rarer, often
very funny. He obviously has enormous respect and
deep appreciation for the "truth."
His own of course.

Sorry - should have said -

Mein Kampf.

SR,

I didn't have to research it. I already knew about it - its been an internet meme for a couple of years now. Glad you caught up. Standard TDS rubbish about Trump being Hitler.

Hilariously for the dolts who buy this, the same thing was done to Bush. You see, for those of a certain leaning, all Republican presidents are Hitler. And then they comically congratulate themselves on the progressive thinking.

Anyway, it seems we'll never know whether SR fell for this or was just childishly trying to set a trap for me or his fellow TDS suffers. But that's standard.

Whenever SR screws up, his first priority is to try to muddy the waters rather than own up.

Dear Foxy,

There are other gems in the CIA dossier.

“I do not look for people having clever ideas of their own but rather people ho are clever in finding ways and means of carrying out my ideas”

“No system in the execution of his thoughts. He wants things his own way and gets mad when he strikes firm opposition on solid ground” as in 'No we will not sell you Greenland because it is not ours to sell'.

“For God's sake don't excite the Fuehrer – which means do not tell him bad news – do not mention things which are not as he conceives them to be.” as in let's move that destroyer carrier from his sight as it is named the John McCain.

“The White House’s directive to hide a Navy destroyer named after Senator John McCain during President Trump’s recent visit to a naval base in Japan was driven, administration officials said on Thursday, by a fear of bad visuals — the name of the president’s nemesis clearly visible in photographs of him.“

Dear mhaze,

Sure. Lol.
