    "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. "

        Hey they’re free! What a bargain! You can use them however you like! Flower arranging. Ditch digging. You could stack them like cord wood and make cool fort. You could tell all sorts of absolute nonsense and they’ll believe it like the most niaive little children.

          If they really were that convenient, you wouldn’t give them away for free. Something is fishy here.

    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.

    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!
