We'd been doing this every night if the Nazi's had won the war. This is lip synced by the way:
Celebrated Americans historian Rick Perlstein has been over this topic in a great piece on Trump's campaign:
"Donald Trump is not a fascist––probably.
His ex-wife Ivana once claimed he kept a volume of Hitler’s
collected speeches in a cabinet by his bed, and read from time to time the
fuhrer’s vision of human life as a pitiless war of all against all. “If I had
these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them,” he
told Vanity Fair in 1990. But consider something the architect of Trump Tower,
Der Scutt, once said on how to evaluate the truth value of Donald Trump claims:
“divide by two, then divide by four, and you’re closer to the answer.”
Trump worships armed force, pronouncing at a rally in August
in Derry, New Hampshire: “I believe in the military and military strength more
strongly than anybody running by a factor of a billion.” (Applying Scutt’s
formula, that means Trump believes in military strength 125,000,000 times more
than Lindsey Graham, who opened his presidential campaign with a promise to go
to war with Iran.)
When Trump speaks in the subjunctive mood, he can certainly
sound like an aspiring dictator. Regarding a $2.5 billion plant Ford intends to
build in Mexico, he announced that “every car, every truck, and every part
manufactured in this plant that comes across the border, we’re going to charge
you a 35 percent tax—O.K.?” The Constitution, of course, grants Congress, not a
president, the power to tax. Maybe it’s just ignorance on his part. Or maybe,
by “we” he’s referring to the Congressional coalition he’s building in his
spare time between stadium rallies. But if Trump has ever made reference to any
understanding of the three coequal branches that govern the United States, I
haven’t noticed it."
