If you're into self-dramatization, Donald Trump’s candidacy is perfect for you.
Half of the Washington political class is vowing to vote for Hillary -- even Stalin! -- over Trump; psychologists (and massage therapists) report they are treating patients for "Trump anxiety"; lengthy thought-pieces on Trump have no room to mention his signature issue, immigration, but get prolix on George Wallace, Mussolini and Hitler. (Never Mao, Stalin or Lenin, curiously.)
You're going to have to act quickly if you hope to be among the first 200 princesses to feel the pea under 15 layers of mattresses.
To save you time, I will provide the prototype. Do not be surprised if the following turns up, word for word, under the byline of David Brooks, Stephen Hayes, Cokie Roberts, every single writer for Salon, Gawker, National Review, Commentary and The Huffington Post. And then, of course, Fareed Zakaria will steal it.

"J'accuse Donald Trump”
Watching the candidacy of Donald Trump, I am continually struck by his resemblance to a man who came to power in a far-off land nearly 85 years ago, a historical epic that I had naively hoped was well buried in the past.
Consider the following:
-- Adolf Hitler held gigantic rallies, where he inspired millions with rousing speeches. Donald Trump holds gigantic rallies, where he inspires millions with rousing speeches.
-- Adolf Hitler talked about making his country great again. Donald Trump talks about making his country great again.
-- Adolf Hitler promised military victories. Donald Trump promises military victories.
-- Adolf Hitler had a loyal and overweight henchman, Hermann Goering. Donald Trump has a loyal and overweight henchman, Chris Christie.
-- Adolf Hitler blamed a specific group of immigrants for all the nation's problems (Ed: Jews weren't immigrants -- Close enough!). Donald Trump blames a specific group of immigrants for all the nation's problems.
-- Adolf Hitler vowed to build a wall (Ed: Wait a minute -- when did Hitler talk about a wall? Shhhh! Nevermind!) Donald Trump vows to build a wall.
-- Adolf Hitler was a teetotaler. Donald Trump is a teetotaler.
-- Adolf Hitler had a hobby that he enjoyed very much (painting). Donald Trump has a hobby that he enjoys very much (golf).
-- Adolf Hitler had an opulent home in the city as well as a country home, "The Berghof" in Berchtesgaden. Donald Trump has an opulent home in the city as well as a country home, "Mar-a-Lago" in Palm Beach.
-- Adolf Hitler was involved with a woman from Central Europe, Eva Braun. Donald Trump is married to a woman from Central Europe, Melania Knauss.
-- Adolf Hitler had a pact with the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1941; Donald Trump said nice things about Russian president Vladimir Putin.
-- Adolf Hitler required all non-Jewish, German civilians to greet one another with a rigid right-arm salute, while exclaiming "Heil!" or "Heil Hitler!" Donald Trump has asked audiences to promise to vote for him by raising their hands, which is the PRECISELY same thing.
-- Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian; Donald Trump has never smoked.
-- Adolf Hitler forcibly annexed Czechoslovakia. Donald Trump tried to merge two casinos in Atlantic City.
-- Adolf Hitler invested hundreds of millions of dollars on German aviation to upgrade the Luftwaffe. Donald Trump has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in private jets.
-- Adolf Hitler never had any children, but if he had, they would probably have been blond. Both of Donald Trump's daughters are blond.
-- Adolf Hitler's favorite food was liver dumplings, a dish very similar to meatloaf. (Ed.: They're not remotely similar. No one knows that.) Donald Trump's favorite food is meatloaf.
-- Adolf Hitler had light hair and a moustache. Donald Trump has light hair and a moustache. (This has not been definitively established, but some who knew Trump in the 1970s recall that he had a moustache, albeit a fuller, longer one.)
-- One of Adolf Hitler's idols was World War I fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as "the Red Baron." Donald Trump's son is named Barron. (It's spelled differently, but sounds the same.)
-- Adolf Hitler liked Eva Braun because she was very attractive; Donald Trump's wife, Melania, is very attractive.
-- Adolf Hitler vowed to exterminate entire races; Donald Trump has vowed to exterminate ALL Mexicans and Central Americans. (Mr. Trump has yet to call for this, but if he had, it would be an amazing parallel and speak very ill of his character.)
-- One of Adolf Hitler's favorite desserts, not his No. 1 favorite, but one he enjoyed several times a year, was chocolate ice cream. Donald Trump has talked about formerly liking Oreos. (Recently, he vowed never to eat Oreos again because Nabisco moved its factories to Mexico. This does not negate his previous position on the cookie.)
-- Adolf Hitler was known for erecting concentration camps – surrounded by walls to keep people out, particularly Mexicans. (Ed: That's not true.) Donald Trump wants to build a wall.
-- Allowing Adolf Hitler to come to power was a horrible mistake for an entire nation; allowing Donald Trump to come to power will be a horrible mistake for an entire nation.
In conclusion, [dramatic music plays] I have covered American politics for 30 years. For the first time in my life I am afraid for my country. Very afraid. Very, very afraid. Very, very, very afraid.
But, it is very poor satire. Sounds like drunken rambling.
...?...
in fact it is a brilliant skewering of the hysterical responses to the trump candidacy...
“Don’t know where Ann is getting her coke lately.”
More like bath salts.
Polish Jews were driven to Western Europe including Germany by pogroms and discriminatory laws.
Moderator: I made a comparison between Trump and Hitler yesterday as a joke on this Coulter article and I must have posted it in the wrong thread because now it seems my posts are banned?
Show me the verifiable quote where Trump said that Muslims should wear special badges.
Hilarious satire!
Ann Coulter is alluding in her article to the musical “The Producers”; specifically to the song “Springtime for Hitler”, a total spoof and taunting mock of Hitler.
Well done Ann.
Go Trump.

Until or unless a politician is promising mass genocide, comparisons to Hitler are beyond the pale, and are grossly offensive to Holocaust victims.

Oddly enough, Holocaust survivors have compared Trump to Hitler as well, including the ADL.

We actually have controversy here. Is Trump ‘Hitler reincarnated’?
How Clintons are behind the Trump KKK/Nazi Smear Campaign
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3406497/posts
‘ ... The [NYT] article reported that Bill Clinton and others argued against those inclined to underestimate Trump ‘that Mr. Trump clearly had a keen sense of the electorate’s mood and that only a concerted campaign portraying him as dangerous and bigoted would win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election ...’
Anti-Defamation League
‘On February 25, the Anti-Defamation League issued a press release in which ADL National Chair Marvin D. Nathan and ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt called upon Trump ‘to distance himself from white nationalist and former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, as well as other white supremacists, and publicly condemn their racism’.’
On March 7, Greenblatt’s ADL predecessor Abraham Foxman renewed the attack on Trump, telling Times of Israel reporter Eric Cortellessa that Trump was deliberately inviting his audience to make a ‘fascist gesture’ by raising their hands to pledge to vote for him.
[How the Anti Defamation League is now Clintonista and Soros]
Greenblatt, who recently replaced Abraham Foxman at the ADL’s helm, had previously been described in 2014 by Daniel Greenfield of the David Horowitz Freedom Center as ‘a Clinton official who bummed around NGOs during the Bush years and then became Obama’s director of the White House’s Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation’. Greenfield’s article exposed Greenblatt’s association with the Aspen Institute, funded by former Nazi collaborator George Soros, who had previously been condemned as a bigot by the ADL. In September 2015, Greenblatt had painted Ben Carson as a bigot, saying, ‘Dr. Ben Carson’s statement that a Muslim American should not serve as president is deeply offensive, un-American and contrary to the Constitution.’ In December 2015, after several months of the ADL sparring with Carson, Greenfeld had issued a press release condemning Trump’s call to seal the border against Muslims.
For those who call Trump ‘Hitler’ ... uups ...

News Flash ...!
Glenn Beck has recently learned that there’s a special metal derived from bauxite which blocks EMP attacks [aka the ‘pulse bomb’ as was depicted in the James Bond movie, Goldeneye, and elsewhere]. This high tech metal interferes with other enemy waves, such as alien mind control. I’m not talking about tinfoil. It’s called a-l-u-m-i-n-u-m. If you cover your brain with aluminum, you are much safer. The most practical way to do that is by wearing an aluminum hat.
Too late. His mind is already infiltrated.
I support Trump because I am evil. Pathetic fools!
This silly republic is doomed! Muahahaha!
Robot Romney and the Pope are in agreement. And so is Hillary. It’s a VRWC.

Trump also came in second above Cruz in Puerto Rico. They too will be among his storm troopers.
Ann is again right on the money. The left and much of the GOP -I know, it’s getting harder to tell them apart- has been playing up this crap for going on a month. Matt Laur on the Today show just the other morning.
GO TRUMP!
I asked a fellow super villain how good I look in a cape. “No not really, but the mask helps.”
So if anyone is interested, I no longer wear a cape, okay?
I have several long time Sikh pals from my 30 years living in Los Angeles. I know at least 2 of them are voting for Trump.
Thank you, Mr. Singh......and Mr. Singh LOL
I still have my cape, but is old and a bit frayed around the edges.
