NBC Historian Beschloss: I'm Not Saying Trump Is Hitler—But He's Hitler

Trump = Hitler is the political catnip that liberals just can't stay away from.

Examples abound, including this item from 2019 quoting MSNBC's Donny Deutsch warning that if Trump were re-elected, another Holocaust could happen. And Joe Scarborough describing a Trump rally as a "Nuremberg" rally, and suggesting that things are beginning to "look like Germany in 1933."

On Monday's Morning Joe, MSNBC historian Michael Beschloss, commenting on Trump's rally in Texas over the weekend, became the latest liberal to pencil-draw the little mustache on Trump. While piously prefacing his remarks by proclaiming that Trump isn't Hitler, he proceeded to analogize the former president to the Nazi.

I’ve always thought 💭 those Hitler analogies could get DJT killed.

Adolph should be a hero to the Left. He was a National-Socialist and a Jew hater. BTW, I’ll bet that the vast majority of “Jews” that vote for Democrats are not Orthodox.

[Rummyfan]

OFFFS! Is that all the noted historian has to offer?

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Michael Beschloss is presented as a historian. If a historian, he is a very poor historian or he is a liar.

"Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic. We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists. We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national."

Adolf Hitler interview by Viereck from 1923, republished in Liberty magazine in July 1932, and again in "'No room for the alien, no use for the wastrel'," by George Sylvester Viereck, The Guardian, UK, 17 September 2007.

Given this alone, we see that the MSNBC "historian" doesn't know his history. Some expert.

But the Left believes firmly that most people will believe anything at face value.

Hitler was an anti-capitalist. A socialist. And the article from the Guardian speaks of this "history."

One may therefore know that the MSNBCmanagement puts on a fake to suppport fake news.

Essentially, Trump promotes traditionally American ideals of the sovereign individual and is primarily driven by policies that improve the individual standard of living.

The 'rat left exercises societal control via partnerships with the media large corporations, makes constant appeals to race & tribalism, demands total fealty to their agenda and seeks to rub out any dissenting opinions, even to the point of promoting violence on the street.

But Trump's the nazi. Right.

I think he meant Trudeau, not Trump

If I could.. There would be a reckoning ..tonight!

Where are the truckers

NBC hired an Harvard MBA as their historian? That’s hilarious.

[Ann Archy]

OMG!!! What has EATEN his BRAIN?? LIBERALISM is a MENTAL DISORDER!

Maybe 10% of American Jews identify as Orthodox, and those are almost all in urban Congressional Districts that are overwhelmingly Democrat.

Even among Orthodox, the 30-50% who identify as Modern Orthodox vote majority liberal.

Money and activism from Jews is important but their votes are not, except maybe in Florida.

A philosophy professor I had in college actually attended a Hitler Rally at Nuremberg. He said was incredible. The Stadium was a huge amphitheater. Thousands upon thousands were in attendance. The Stadium held 405,000. Kettle drums were down in front of the stage. The front seating was filled with military units with all the banners etc. There was a large center red carpet aisle. As Hitler entered he walked down the center aisle and the crowd scream Sig Hail in rhythm to the kettle drums, 400,000 voices screaming sig hail in union. Gee sounds just like a Trump rally..

Thanks for your information. You make the case that the primary religion of some “Jews” doesn’t seem to be Judaism. The same can probably be said about “Christians” regarding Christianity. Pelosi and Biden would be perfect examples.

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they call you Hitler,
then you win

[jimfree]

Beschloss has the historical awareness of a gerbil.

[ScottinVA]

“HITLER”

*Drink*

[pfflier]

Trump can't be hitler because Bush was hitler and before him Reagan was hitler...

I wish the media would find the real hitler and stick to it..

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Michael Beschloss talking to Joe Scarborough. Now there’s some intellectual firepower right there. Pretty much like when Einstein and Von Neumann and Godel would cross paths at Princeton.

Madrid to an Iranian leftist hedge fund Soros wannabe.

[KC Burke]

married not Madrid. Damn spellcheck

In the Biden era the media has forgotten or suppressed the fact that politicians have rallies. FDR and Truman weren’t coweing in the basement in election years, and the things they said about their opponents were scathing and scabrous. But somehow the media tells us that only Trump and Hitler had rallies.
