Trump compares his administration's crackdown on protests to U.S. fight in World War II

Trump drew an eyebrow-raising parallel Wednesday between his administration’s crackdown on racial justice protests and U.S. soldiers fighting “fascism” in World War II.

The president made the curious comparison during a speech in front of a historic WWII battleship in Wilmington, N.C., as the port city was officially designated the nation’s first “heritage” site commemorating the bloody war.

“You wanted to secure our future, you wanted to praise and raise our flag. You did that,” Trump said, directing his remarks at a handful of WWII veterans in the audience. “We’re doing it in our nation, too. Almost everyone. Every once in a while you see someone don’t do it. We don’t like it ... American warriors did not defeat fascism and oppression overseas to watch our freedoms being trampled by violent mobs.”

Trump — who’s mounting a hardline “law and order” pitch for reelection — said he wants to stop such mobs, but that Democrats, like the mayor of Portland, are preventing him from doing so by opting against requesting federal assistance to tamp down on violence at some protests.

How about money for money's sake. That's more like it. Those fat stacks of cash is all they care about.

Had Donald Trump been president during WWII? We'd be speaking German now.

And Btw, as I've mentioned earlier, you can't achieve 'law & order" without a respect for the rule of law. This is a subject that Donald Trump has thumbed his nose at from Day 1. If he wants to push back against the 'Mob"? Start looking at his own Administration. And take a glance in the mirror, Buddy.

There's a reason that 50% of the American public feel less safe under Trump and his ghouls.
