US (Washington Insider Magazine) —Comparisons of former President Donald Trump with the worst dictators in human history, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, continue. This time it was former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill who not only equated Trump with those dictators, but also assured that the Republican is “more dangerous.”
“A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler and the use of terminology like ‘vermin’ and the drive that those men had toward autocracy and dictatorship,” the Missouri Democrat said during an appearance Tuesday, according to reports. for the first time Mediate.
“However, I think the difference makes Donald Trump even more dangerous, and that is that he does not have any philosophy that he believes in.”
McCaskill asserted that former President Trump is a unique type of authoritarian figure, noting that he “is not trying to outdo a neighboring country like (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is in Ukraine. He is not going for a grandiose plan of international dominance.”
And she reiterated: “The only thing he wants… is to look in the mirror and see a guy who is president. All he cares about is selfish self-promotion. That’s the only philosophy he has. Which makes it even more dangerous.”
All against Trump
The former senator was referring to former President Trump’s statements, in which he defined his rivals as “vermin” and promised to “root out” those he described as “radical left-wing thugs who live like vermin within the confines of our country.” ” if elected in 2024.
“The real threat does not come from the radical right. The real threat comes from the radical left, and it grows every day, every day,” Trump said. “The threat from external forces is much less sinister, dangerous and serious than the internal threat,” the former president added earlier this month.
Since then, many politicians have compared Trump to Hitler and Mussolini.
The first to equate the former president with dictators was former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. They were later joined by the White House spokesperson, the spokesperson for the Biden-Harris re-election campaign and, most recently, President Biden himself.
“Just in the last few days, Trump has said that if he returns to office, he will persecute all those who oppose him and eliminate what he called ‘vermin… in America’… echoes language heard in the speeches Nazis. Germany in the 1930s. It’s not even the first time,” Biden said at a fundraising event in San Francisco.
