1. So for all his "low energy," Jeb must have good blood lines too.

Prescott Bush, after all, managed the Nazis' Wall Street investments as far back as 1927 - so much so he was called "Hitler's banker."

So many GOP executives were on the Nazi bandwagon back then.

"Back then"?

8. Very true observation. n/t

9. Thanks.

And the worst part is, they're just as bad now (if not worse, in some cases).

I bet Fred Drumpf was a Hitler-humper too.

10. Trying not to picture that

2. Trump is

as attractive as a rusty Edsel and as safe as a Pinto with a full gas tank.

But this! This is...probably not going to be his OMFG moment of the week.

He'll top it. He always does.

3. I remember when he talked about the "good genes" in his family

guess that is why he had no qualms about building concentration camps for "undesirables."

Wonder what his dad did during the war?

4. I couldn't believe my ears at his anti-semite dog-whistle comment.

Not surprised, totally consistent for him.

5. What I wonder is how trump, who is notoriously ignorant of history, acquired that bit of information

about Ford, and processed it well enough to use it as a dog whistle.

Who briefed trump on Ford ahead of this visit, and made sure to emphasize this aspect of Henry Ford's history?

Because I seriously doubt that trump got that information on his own - I mean, can any of us imagine him cracking a history book and looking up biographical information on Henry Ford on his own?

Who is trump's Gríma Wormtongue?

11. Two possible sources that I can

think of. Might have heard about Ford years ago from his father, who would have been around when Ford was publishing his garbage and using slave labor from Auschwitz in his German subsidiary.

Or, he might have got it from from Steve Miller.

[scarletwoman]

13. Thanks for replying to my question.

I agree that Stephen Miller would be an obvious suspect, I hadn't thought of his father - that would certainly account for trump having a deeply embedded opinion about Henry Ford in his consciousness.

[wnylib]

14. Well, he does seem to have inherited

the family values of his pimp grandfather and his Klan father.

Thinks he can change the family image by installing golden toilets but his shit still stinks.

15. I'm guessing

Stephen Miller, that self-hating Jewish man.

7. He's pullin' out all the stops...ain't he?

[47of74]

12. Yeah makes me want to run right out and buy a Ford

[keithbvadu2]

16. "Blood and soil" Trump's supporters yelled in Charlottesville.

"Blood and soil" Trump's supporters yelled in Charlottesville.

17. Orange chauvinist dog whistling motherfucker

Maybe the Trumpers can carry their henry fucking ford signs while they pass COVID yelling among themselves without their masks on.

[yuiyoshida]

18. I am waiting for someone to send him a

Nazi arm band and he wears it to his next presser.

[Cha]

19. Bloated POS.. goes to Ford Plant and spews

fucking bloodlines shite.

[The Wielding Truth]

20. He is perpetually toxic!

[Sarg]

21. Henry Ford...

is the only American mentioned by Hitler in "Mein Kampf." Hitler and the Nazis loved everything about Ford, and of course they were completely in agreement about "the international Jew."

Needless to say, Trump believes in eugenics, aristocratic "blood," and all the rest of the racialist pseudo-science of the 19th century.
