Not going to do that.
I have seen this "Hitler" claim twice before - but, no source.
Can someone provide the exact Hitler quote, the date, and the exact context?
Thank you!
Precisely “Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer’’.
“You are allowed to admit being wrong.’ Precisely. A sense of humility is important in life.
Humility is knowing one isn’t God.
Years ago I found that out the hard way.
“I’m thinking of a belief system that’s been very popular for a couple thousand years that is based on notion of forgiveness.”
It’s odd that the purists here won’t accept the converts. Vance repented and admitted he was wrong. What more do they want? Probably the same people who were skeptical of Trump in 2016.
Maybe Trump hopes Vance is the one to carry on the MAGA movement after he leaves office.
Not really. There was a time that I believed that Trump was a total fraud. He proved me wrong.
Did you notice S4232. If you look at it, it is the Fauci Act. That there is some advanced level trolling.
And is MAN enough to say "I was wrong"!
Trump never holds grudges like most people.
Yes, and one more thing....
The Lord did not move the bullet. He moved Trump’s head away from the bullet.
Huge difference in my thinking......
I think he told the truth when he said he changed his mind . . . . I think he did and not for a phony political reason.
I was a Bawst'n transplant living in WV for about 4 years in the mid seventies and Mamaw is truly pictured, as I knew a number of West Virginian mamaws.
Maybe he’ll pick Vivek for some high level cabinet position, where he would have more power than a VP.
Perception.
Think 2028. After a wildly successful term in office like Reagan ushering VP Bush effortlessly into the presidency in 1988, Trump’s VP will be the presumptive frontrunner and likely President in 2028. Vivek is the only one on the national stage who consistently talks about the blueprint for extending and expanding MAGA and America’s future.
Thank you! These are impressive.
Many thoughtful comments. Strongest reason? Pragmatism. Vance is more than a candidate to deliver Ohio Which is probably not in doubt anyhow). JD is a regional powerhouse that can deliver the whole Rust Belt. Plus a military veteran. Young. A celebrity in his own right. But mostly a man whose story encompasses a region with several swing states. If you go back to read the transcript of his convention speech you’ll see that he mentioned Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Kentucky dozens of times. He has a presence in all of these places at one time or another.
Lots of people who didn’t like Trump before the 2016 election are now supporters: Mark Levin, Ted Cruz, Greg Gutfeld, to name a few. I worked countless hours in 2016 making phone calls at a Trump call center. I was making the calls as much to stop Hilary as I was for Trump. I was hopeful that Trump would do what he was promising, but I was skeptical that he actually would. Now I’m an ardent supporter. Anybody that doesn’t change their opinion in the light of facts is a numbskull. Vance changed his opinion of Trump based on what he saw Trump do.
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” Vance texted to his room-mate in 2016 (who is now a Dem state representative in the South).
By ommiting portions, the quote is grossly mischaracterized.

The quote is grossly mischaracterized. While he considered that Trump might become one as one of a range options, he never called Trump “America’s Hitler” But even that was recanted as Vance realized how severely the media had lied about Trump.
I am excited to hear what your pal has to say. Please start a topic on your encounter.
