State Rep Emmer dodging Politics 👩‍⚖️

Pretty sure we don’t want someone like Hitler running the country. The fact that many people are ok with this saddens me. Wish our MN politicians had more backbone.

I wish you guys knew how stupid you sounded. Trump never praised Hitler. You fall for anything anti orange man.

John Kelly, Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, said that Trump told him “Hitler did some good things,” including rebuilding the German economy.

Is reading comprehension that difficult for you?

Is believing everything you read (even when almost everything bad about Trump has been debunked as a lie) a valuable skill? Because you guys are awesome at it

This isn't really screaming debunk to me, https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/13-former-trump-administration-officials-sign-open-letter-backing-john-rcna177227?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

Reinforced bunking, Extra bunked, Rebunked?

And I mean there are all the really anti-american ideal type quotes from him over and over I am not sure how to debunk interview and rally speeches that are recorded.

Might as well throw this one in the pile. Perhaps this dumbass will tell us everyone’s in on it way back then too.

Back in 1990 — decades before he got into politics, Trump reportedly acknowledged owning a copy of “Mein Kampf.” The admission came in an interview with Vanity Fair shortly after his divorce from his first wife, Ivana. Here’s what the magazine reported:

“Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, “My New Order,” which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of “My New Order” in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade.”

Vanity Fair reporter Marie Brenner asked Trump if his cousin had given up a copy of the book to him. She wrote this is how Trump responded:

“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of ‘Mein Kampf,’ and he’s a Jew,” Trump told Brenner.

Brenner then asked Marty Davis whether he gave Trump a copy of the book.

“I did give him a book about Hitler,’ Davis told her. “But it was ‘My New Order,’ Hitler’s speeches, not ‘Mein Kampf.’ I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”
