1. History literally repeats itself.

May MAGA meet the same end as the fucking Nazis.

[B.See]

4. ... politically speaking (of course?)

[Kablooie]

15. Hitler repeats himself.

So in a few years, after Trump remains in office permanently, he will start WWIII.

[Initech]

16. You mean, Vance, right? No way Trump lives that long.

[Irish_Dem]

29. Trump will have the best medical care in the world.

They might be able to keep him ticking for some time.

Like they did for Cheney.

[Jerry2144]

19. Fast forward to the bunker scene?

[erronis]

24. Yes, please!

[alfredo]

38. He wants Leni Riefenstahl to film the event, but she's dead.

[GreenWave]

42. Especially if Trump is taking the course.

He watches movies like the Chinese taking over the Panama Canal and then acts like it,

[B.See]

2. What a surprise.

[Ocelot II]

3. Even Hitler didn't personally hand out the medals, which I fully expect Trump will want to do.

Of course, that would have meant he'd have to give the gold to Jesse Owens, which threw a spanner in the works of the Nazis' master race theory.

[B.See]

6. ... or at least the ones his grubby little hands don't POCKET.

[erronis]

25. Yeah - I can just visualize trump handing a gold medal to someone --- and not letting go.

"It's mine! It's mine!"

[littlemissmartypants]

30. He doesn't have the stamina.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Trump will want all the gold medals for himself.

[alfredo]

39. Did he return the gold medal to the athlete?

It appears he didn’t

[Irish_Dem]

41. Everything in the world belongs to Trump.

He is so special and deserves it all.

[snowybirdie]

5. What happens

When they have an Olympics and no one shows up?

[Ping Tung]

7. Will runners, long jumpers, and pole vaulters be required to wear Trump sneakers?

[littlemissmartypants]

31. Snort.

[Kid Berwyn]

8. What a coincidence! Hitler was a racist warmonger cult leading NAZI, too!

Dear Leader works so hard for the peons and unpaid servants.

9. You mean 2028

40. Yeah, I caught that, too. n/t

[Chasstev365]

43. No problem; I'm the king of Typos. 😉

[riversedge]

10. NO President should have any control over the Olympics !!

[FadedMullet]

11. Well, it is another great opportunity to make millions for himself. No?

[OldEurope]

17. No, because that would require the IOC to give up parts of their own revenue.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. I see red hats with five colorful rings...

He won't give a damn about what the IOC wants. They belong to him now.

[Paladin]

12. We need an IMMEDIATE change of venue for the L.A. games.

Preferably by close of business this evening. The range of damage and humiliation that trump is capable of inflicting on a Los Angeles-based Olympics is off the charts---the 1936 Berlin Olympics is a devastatingly accurate comparison.

In the event that the powers-that-be are too terrified/greedy/stupid to prevent a trumpian Olympics shitshow in L.A., a widespread effort to boycott attendance and viewing of the games needs to be implemented, just as soon as possible. No half-measures on this, folks---way too much at stake.

[Torchlight]

13. I wonder how many gold medals Mr. trump will claim as his own

(I'd give a paycheck to see a "Ukranian Jesse Owens" and "single-handedly crushing Hitler's Mr. trump's myth of Aryan American supremacy" )

[UTUSN]

14. His whole Marketing gimmick is stealing slogans/ploys that worked historically for others

I can't come up with an exhaustive list, but partially:

* "America First" - successful for the Charles LINDBERG "isolationist" (Nazi)

* Even "MAGA" was used by RAYGUN before

* "They're stealing from us" - "Rigged"

* Tariffs - from the Robber Barron era

* Military parades - from all authoritarian regimes

* Taking over all prestige outlets - Olympics, 1936 HITLER

* Witch hunts, smearing all enemies - 1950s McCARTHYism, Red Scare

[Hope22]

18. Enough already!

The world must say no if our politicians are not strong enough to stand!

[homegirl]

20. WHEN AFRICAN AMERICAN ATHLETE

Jesse Owens won several Gold Medals Hitler left the arena and never returned for the rest of the Olympics!

What would cause Donny to have the same reaction?

[twodogsbarking]

21. An "errant" javelin through the heart would do it.

[littlemissmartypants]

35. Shot put to the noggin works for me.

[Sogo]

22. Prediction: There will be countries that pull out of competing in this Olympics because of Trump presiding over it.

nt

[erronis]

26. I hope so. And I can see individual athletes either withdrawing or showing their disgust in public ways.

[littlemissmartypants]

36. Same hope here.

[hamsterjill]

23. Trump has to copy Hitler's playbook.

Just like Melania copied Michelle's speech.

They aren't the brightest crayons, after all.

[erronis]

28. It's really little Stevie Miller that is the copyist. Perhaps he gives trump permission to use a black sharpie.

But No Colores!

[tanyev]

27. I keep hoping the fact that Donny got a much later start than Hitler will finally work in democracy's favor,

but, whew, this is really going to the wire.

[Irish_Dem]

33. Trump will personally be in charge of the female gymnasts, skaters, and volleyball team.

[MiHale]

37. America should start screaming to the world to stay away...

Don’t come. Hold games somewhere else.

[moondust]

44. Yabut...

Hitler's putsch wasn't directly on the German Capitol. And Hitler wasn't elected to be dictator in chief (DIC).

DonOLD's putsch was directly on the U.S. Capitol. And a few years later he was apparently elected by voters to be the DIC.
