OBSERVATIONS & OPINIONS
TRUMP & HITLER
I just stumbled upon a Trump rally in New Hampshire.
Don’t know when. It’s the content and body language
that matters.
I listened to his rhetoric, as always glorifying himself.
But I notice something different.
When he stepped away from the podium to listen to
the crowd roar their approval, I could imagine Hitler
doing the same movements.
Watch the rally and tell me I am wrong.
Fellow Americans, I think we are in big trouble.
A FRIGHTENING SIMILARITY
IMAGES OF HITLER
I first had this feeling whenever I saw Trump signing a new piece of legislation as all around him, Vic President Pence, Paul Ryan and others smiling and affirming their agreement, no matter
Dare they not?
I recall a meeting I once viewed of a meeting with Trump and his cabinet. Sitting around a table each member was given a chance to speak. The comments went around the table as each member present gave a glowing report of Trump’s presidency. Dare they do otherwise?
This recalled an image of Hitler. Reflections of his generals telling Hitler that all was fine as the world stumbled to chaos.
IN THE GARDEN OF BEASTS BY ERIK LARSON
I just completed reading In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson. He is a superb writer of creative nonfiction. His books are fact made to read as novels resulting in a page-turner of history.
This work covers the rise of Nazi Germany with Hitler and his henchmen gaining control of the government. The events are viewed through the eyes of William E. Dodd, in 1933, the newly appointed U.S. ambassador to Germany stationed in Berlin.
The story is a chilling recounting of the slow increase in terror and insanity of the Nazis toward the German population and especially the Jews. Reflected is how the horror slowly escalates until it is impossible to halt progress towards world conflict.
