The Trump Administration could be the Gestapo, but not just Trump.

The whole Nazi symbology breaks down when you get to Fearful Leader. No one in the Third Reich was as stupid as he is.

The Geheime Staatspolizei (Gestapo) was considered the sister service of the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service), both were administered by the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA) (Reich Main Security Office).

But all were a part of the SS, and under the command of Heinrich Himmler, Reichsführer-SS!

ICE = Geheime Staatspolizei (Gestapo)

DHS=Sicherheitsdienst(SD) (Security Service) and

Nielsen is Reichsführer-SS and head of Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA) (Reich Main Security Office)!!!

Nazism was fascism of a certain place and time.

IMO, ICE and the private prison industry have become Trump's version of the SS.

Carrying out the scapegoating and persecution of people.


He has a modern day version of brown shirts in the deplorables.

I don't think he really has a gestapo yet. He thinks the gestapo is the mythical deep state.

He seems to be working pretty hard at replacing it with his own though.
