CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump compared himself to anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela on Monday as he cast himself as the victim of federal and state prosecutors he alleges are targeting him and his businesses for political reasons.
Returning to New Hampshire to register for its presidential primary, Trump held a rally where he railed against President Joe Biden’s response to the Hamas attack on Israel and vowed to build an Iron Dome-style missile defense shield over the U.S.
But he focused much of his dark and at times profane speech on the criminal and civil cases against him, at one point suggesting he would go to prison like the former South African president who spent 27 years in prison for opposing South Africa’s apartheid system and was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.
“I don’t mind being Nelson Mandela because I’m doing it for a reason,” Trump told am amped-up crowd of supporters at a sports complex in Derry, New Hampshire. ”We’ve got to save our country from these fascists, these lunatics that we’re dealing with. They’re horrible people and they’re destroying our country.”.........................

The Slobfather comparing himself to Nelson Mandela is nothing short of sacrilege. I'm not particularly surprised by it, so much as disgusted and repulsed, because that's just the kind of guy Slobby is, but I think it nay be one of the most offensive things I've heard of him saying, and the bar for that is pretty damned high.
He should be ashamed of himself, but I guess it's pointless to say that, since we all know that he's incapable of shame as he is of other human emotions.
That putrid walking bag of sludge makes me want to hurl.
