Make Up Your Damn Minds Media Morons! Is Trump a Nazi or a Commie?

It seems Trump is now a Nazi and an anti-semite for using the phrase "America First" in his Inaugural address according to numerous media reports including
this one by the Washington Post:

Trump isn’t quite promising “America über alles,” but it comes close. “America First” was the motto of Nazi-friendly Americans in the 1930s, and Trump has more than just a catchphrase in common with them. When he began using the phrase last year during the campaign, the Anti-Defamation League had asked him to stop.

and this one by CNN.

It is extremely unfortunate that in his speech Wednesday outlining his foreign policy goals, Donald Trump chose to brand his foreign policy with the noxious slogan "America First," the name of the isolationist, defeatist, anti-Semitic national organization that urged the United States to appease Adolf Hitler.

But wait - if he's a Neo-Nazi Jew hater, why did he invite Israeli settlers in the West Bank to his Inauguration?

For nearly half a century, American presidents of both parties have joined the rest of the international community in condemning Israeli settlements on Palestinian lands and labelling them one of the main obstacles to peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Then Donald Trump won the presidency. And today, three prominent leaders of Israel’s settler movement are being treated as honored guests at Trump’s inauguration ceremony and ball, both of which they were explicitly invited to attend.

“I definitely agree that we are now getting the VIP treatment, which is something that we have been working on for many years,” Oded Revivi, the mayor of the West Bank settlement of Efrat and a top official with the Yesha Council, the main advocacy group for Jewish settlers, told the Times of Israel. “You could basically argue that it has taken 50 years, since 1967, to be recognized on such a level for such an event.”

Hell, I thought he was a Commie sympathizer and a Putin puppet who sold us out to the Russians?

There are a thousand thousand reasons to despise Mr. Trump and oppose his Presidency and the policies that his administration is likely to adopt with the help of a Republican controlled Congress. However, this continuous ginning up of "fake" outrage isn't particularly productive. It reminds me of my worst years in Jr. High School. It's a waste of time, as were the silly protests on the streets of Washington the media is already characterizing as "riots."

But hey, you want to go the Nazi route to deride Trump (not a formula designed to win over Trump supporters already labeled "deplorables" by Democrats and our media) after the vast extension of our surveillance state under Obama, be my guest.

Based on my dreams, it means going to work/school while naked.

fear is useful to TPTB

The Russians did not elect Trump. They may or may not have tried to get involved in the election, but we did this to ourselves. As the historian you have probably not read but should read Morris Berman predicted years ago, we are eating each other.

We are consumed most of all by our fears. Fear of what the Soviets, and maybe the Chinese, would do after WWII. We created a nuclear arsenal measured in how many multiples of times it could destroy the world. We dragged our country through disasters like Vietnam, that murdered so many and cracked apart our nation. Our fear of race, our war on drugs, and then of course our fear of a world beyond our control after 9/11. Another quote that seems to fit is “The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.”

The fears were encouraged at every opportunity by those who profited from them, either by rawly making money, or by acquiring power and control, or in most cases, both. We are unconcerned — it’s normal — that politicians routinely leave office wealthy despite modest salaries. We have so much, and share so little. We enthusiastically abandoned so many of the good things about America, such as our Bill of Rights. America’s pre-WWII Constitutional Era was grossly imperfect. Yet for its obvious failings, there was a sense of the possibility of progress; halting, awkward, unfinished, but, well, for lack of a better word and to use a word that has become a symbol of modern irony, hope.

@gjohnsit Having seen your picture, please worry about something else, ok?
Me? I fear going into court with the hem of my skirt caught up in my undies. I actually grabbed an elderly lady attorney and yanked her skirt out just as she entered the courtroom.
I truly fear the fucking msm will cause unnecessary deaths of our citizenry if they don't tone this fear mongering and hate mongering down a notch.

Commies wanted things like free health care, schools, and collective farms.

Unfortunately, the democratic party opposition to Trump will follow the Clinton playbook which was "Trump is a bad person. Vote for me instead. Putin."

The U.S. has been in fascist mode for decades now. Since the great bamboozler, Ronnie Rayguns. Wall Street and Multi-Nationals have owned the gov't for as long and that is the compost pit nurturing the rise of Nazism.

Donald Drumpf makes it all look like it's come to fruition. He is a dictator as much as possible. Both Communism and Nazism as I've seen it, function only under dictatorial.

Crash and burn, Trump. Crash and burn.

Trump's embrace of West Bank settlers falls right in line with the Dominionists (and the Repugs) present-day doctrine regarding Israel. Ancestral Israel for the Jews; resulting in hostilities erupting into WWIII (armageddon) [accelerated by RWNJ]; Second Coming; Salvation! This is f'n serious and something to bring into light. These people are trying to destroy life on Earth so Jesus can come and save the righteous (THEM!).

This has nothing to do with Nazi, right-, or left- wing nuttery of old. Wake up. We need you in this fight!

Peace.

The CIA has never had a big problem with Nazis. Since the 1940s they have been fine with Operation Paperclip and recruiting former Nazis to help them spy on Russia.

The CIA is telling us that Trump is a pinko commie Putin-lover. FBI et.al. seem to be going along with the Russian hacking drivel.
Trump is probably any label that will allow them to convince his base that he should not be allowed to downsize the spook agencies.

how about he is both? They are not that different, the nazis and the commies. They are also not that different from the corporate oligarchs and corporate "mercenaries". No either or question here, just an "AND", imo.
