White House berates Trump for echoing Hitler by calling opponents ‘vermin’

[CharlieH]

 

The Biden White House condemned Donald Trump for promising, if re-elected president, to “root out” opponents within US society he called “communists, Marxists, fascists and radical left thugs that live like vermin”.

 

“Employing words like ‘vermin’ to describe anyone who makes use of their basic right to criticise the government ‘echoes dictators’ like Hitler and Mussolini,” the White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said, quoting Washington Post coverage of Trump’s remarks.

“Using terms like that about dissent would be unrecognisable to our founders, but horrifyingly recognisable to American veterans who put on their country’s uniform in the 1940s. President Biden believes in his oath to our constitution, and in American democracy. He works to protect both every day.”

Trump is the clear frontrunner to face Joe Biden in an election rematch next year, enjoying vast leads for the Republican nomination in battleground and national polls despite facing 91 criminal charges, including election subversion, and assorted civil trials including a defamation case arising from a rape allegation a judge said was “substantially true”.

Trump leads or is close to Biden in numerous swing state polls.

The former president spoke in Claremont, New Hampshire, on Saturday, in the middle of the Veterans Day weekend.

“The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within,” said Trump, who was impeached, for a second time, for inciting the deadly January 6 attack on Congress in an attempt to stay in power.

On Monday, Bates said: “We do not comment in the 2024 presidential election.”

[candide]

Hitler, Mussolini, but also Stalin and Mao used to call their opponents vermin. It was also frequently used by Hitler about Jews.

Many electorates fell at times for the "what this country needs is a strong man at the top" school of thought. There is a possibility that America is belatedly falling for that.

You are a really funny guy. Have you ever thought of being a comedian?

If you knew what a fascist actually was you wouldn't be misusing it like that, but seems you are not alone in not knowing what a fascist really is.

Perhaps because they see what having a weak man at the top is like and not liking it very much.

 

Re the OP, I don't recall Biden having anything to say when Clinton called millions of US citizens "deplorables". Funny that, not.

Trump was a weak president.

 

Couldn't get done what he promised to do. Spent his time tweeting rather than presidenting.

 

Let Putin walk all over him.

Embarrassing from the Dems and the guardian. 

 

If Trump got a short back and sides they'd criticize him for mimicking Hitler's haircut.

 

The only ones mimicking Hitler are the anti semites on the left.

If Trump is as bad as you proclaim, why is he doing better in opinion polls than Biden? Everyone knows what he is, and what Biden is and more people choose Trump.

Six months ago, Ron DeSantis was riding high in the polls. You know what happened.

 

When Trump inevitably slumps in the polls, you will stop talking about polls. Or will you maintain sufficient integrity to post polls when Trump is down?

https://www.americanprogress.org/article/trumps-syria-shambles/

 

President Donald Trump’s October 6, 2019, decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northeastern Syria has thrown a previously stabilized part of the war-torn country back into chaos. This rash decision—absent any coordination with U.S. allies or Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) partners on the ground—paved the way for a long-threatened Turkish incursion into Syria. As predicted by outside experts and professionals within the U.S. government, the incursion has sparked further violence, displaced hundreds of thousands of people, and forced the SDF to cut a deal with the Assad regime and its Russian backers.¹ It has also shattered American credibility and set off a mad dash by all sides to fill the security vacuum left by the U.S. withdrawal.

This issue brief provides background information on the American withdrawal decision and subsequent Turkish incursion, considers the risks of long-term instability caused by these events, and outlines steps the United States could take to salvage what it can from the situation and begin to reset its increasingly adversarial relationship with Turkey.

Yep, Trump sent in the troops, withdrew from part of Syria, but kept troops in other parts. Yet another Republican forever war.

All I did was ask you a question as to why Trump is more popular than Biden in the polls that currently exist, but you didn't answer that question and chose to deflect instead.

Seems that when you don't have an answer, you resort to personal comments instead, and it's not just at me.

So, to repeat my question, if Biden is so great, why is the liar in chief, the great fraud, the bombastic fool, as your side like to call Trump doing better than Biden in the polls at this time?

I wasn't aware that Trump started the Syrian war, so thank you for correcting me on that.
