[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
There are consequences to virtually every mainstream media, office-holding Democrat and left-wing academic labeling former President Donald Trump a Nazi, a fascist, a white supremacist and a mortal threat to American democracy. One consequence is that more than a few people will want Trump dead — killed, if necessary; who would not want such an individual dead?
Here is a small number of incendiary comments:
— The cover story in The New Republic, June 2024, is “American Fascism” — featuring Trump drawn as Adolf Hitler:
“Today, we at The New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways. We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or 17 points that define fascism. Or we can spend it saying, ‘He’s damn close enough, and we’d better fight.'”
— ABC News, Dec. 20, 2023, “Donald Trump’s history with Adolf Hitler and his Nazi writings” by Jonathan Karl: “There have been multiple reports of Trump privately admiring Hitler.”
— Bloomberg, April 13, “Trump’s Hitler Fascination Is an Ominous Echo of the 1930s” by Max Hastings.
— The Associated Press, Dec. 27, 2023, “Trump says he didn’t know his immigration rhetoric echoes Hitler. That’s part of a broader pattern” by Jill Colvin.
— USA Today, June 27, “Did Trump say Hitler ‘did a lot of good things?'” by Maya Marchel Hoff.
— The Washington Post, Dec. 20, 2023, “Yes, it’s okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don’t let me stop you” by Mike Godwin: “When people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking.”
— “Trump and Hitler: A Comparative Study in Lying” (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) by Henk de Berg, professor of German at the University of Sheffield.
— Politico, Dec. 10, 2023: “Why Biden’s campaign keeps linking Trump to Hitler”:
“In most situations, comparing a political opponent to Adolf Hitler might seem like an extraordinary step. For Joe Biden’s campaign, it has become part of the routine of running against Donald Trump. … The campaign released a statement attacking Trump for having ‘channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler.’ … It was the fourth time in the past six weeks that Biden’s campaign has likened Trump’s remarks to Hitler’s.”
And even after Trump was nearly assassinated:
— In The Atlantic, July 14, David Frum writes:
“Fascist movements are secular religions. Like all religions, they offer martyrs as their proof of truth. The Mussolini movement in Italy built imposing monuments to its fallen comrades. The Trump movement now improves on that: The leader himself will be the martyr in chief, his own blood the basis for his bid for power and vengeance.”
In addition to constant accusations of being a Hitler, the entire Left regularly lies about Trump or distorts what he said.
One of the biggest left-wing lies is that Trump referred to Nazis demonstrating in Charlottesville, VA in 2017 as “very fine people.” President Joe Biden has repeated this lie dozens of times, including at his recent debate with Trump. Indeed, Biden repeatedly claims that Trump’s alleged statement is the reason he decided to run for president (another lie).
On June 21, the fact-checking website Snopes ruled the charge “False”:
“No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists ‘Very Fine People.'”
Snopes was about seven years too late, but at least it finally told the truth. Nevertheless, despite the fact Snopes leans left, its ruling has had no effect on Biden or any of the left-wing media. Just last week, The New York Times, in a lead editorial titled “Donald Trump Is Unfit To Lead,” repeated the lie: “When America saw white nationalists and neo-Nazis march through the streets of Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 and activists were rallying against racism, Mr. Trump spoke of ‘very fine people on both sides.'”
For the record, many of us knew this was a lie from the outset. To cite one example, as early as Aug. 2019, PragerU released a video by then-CNN political analyst Steve Cortes, watched over 10 million times, titled “What Happened in Charlottesville?” It proved that the claim that Trump labeled neo-Nazis “very fine people” was a lie. The video, by the way, cost Cortes his job at CNN. His truth-telling on Charlottesville was too much for them.
Then there is the equally widespread charge — made in virtually every left-wing medium — that, like Hitler, Trump called political enemies “vermin.” As the title of a Washington Post column by Marianne LeVine, a national political reporter for the Post, put it: “Trump calls political enemies ‘vermin,’ echoing dictators Hitler, Mussolini.”
Here is what Trump actually said: “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. … They’ll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American Dream.”
Three points:
First, Trump did not label his “political enemies” “vermin.” He used that word only to describe communists, Marxists, fascists and radical left thugs. So should any decent person.
Second, he didn’t label them “vermin.” He said they “live like vermin” because “they’ll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American Dream.” Again, correct.
Third, Hitler used the word “vermin” to describe Jews — not “political enemies” — in order to justify their extermination. People know that. Therefore, the association of Trump with Hitler because of the use of “vermin” is meant to imply that, like Hitler, Trump seeks to exterminate his “political enemies.”
These lies about Trump explain why an assassination attempt was inevitable.
Thank you rabbi obvious! ~
“Rabbi Obvious.” That’s an opportunity for some young, up-and-coming comedian to claim that moniker and run with it. He could become the Jewish Father Guido Sarducci. I wish I were an experienced comedy writer. There’s a trove of golden untapped material here.
Like all religions, they offer martyrs as their proof of truth. The Mussolini movement in Italy built imposing monuments to its fallen comrades.

Right. That’s unique to fascist movements. No Nathan Hales in American lore. France hasn’t got Joan of Arc as a patron saint. There is no Nelson column in London. The Romans forgot Horatius and Regulus.
What is he drinking?
Depraved psychopathic berserk lying stab America and US citizens in the back Biden
and the woke leftist democrat party stoop so low that that they can easily be mistaken for “vermin.”
Why do you insult vermin?
Exactly. Vermin I believe are some of gods innocent creatures.
Sorry …. I stand corrected.
In future I will try to refrain from insulting vermin.
Thank you.
“These lies about Trump explain why an assassination attempt was inevitable.” Not to mention the relentless vilification of Trump by all the “right people” for the past nine years.
We have to acknowledge that the world we used to live in is no more. The society we grew up in had a certain moral equilibrium built into it, so even when people disagreed about how our society should be organised, stability and sanity prevailed. The social environment we live in now is very different. It is no longer possible for anyone from the working class to have any trust or confidence in any agents of the state, and if anyone questions the role of the state or expresses a dissenting view about what should (or should not) be seen as important in our society, then no matter how well argued their views may be, their views are ignored and the individual is personally attacked.
Freedom of thought and expression is important because it allows individual citizens to question the policies of any powerful entities that are operating within our society. This can be seen as a form of societal risk assessment, because it allows us to consider both the likelihood and the impact (or consequences) of something happening that could harm members of our society. If a policy or practice is found to be high risk, then control measures can be implemented to reduce the risk, or it can be abandoned altogether, thereby ensuring our society’s long-term stability and survival.
The “journalists” employed by the legacy media who launch ad hominem attacks at anyone who challenges their worldview by labelling them as “racist” or “far-right” are not only sabotaging one of the most effective ways we have of carrying out such a risk assessment. They are actually increasing the likelihood of someone being physically attacked by a perpetrator who does not understand that the legacy media’s ad hominem assertions are false. Whenever an employee of the legacy media lies about someone, knowing all the while that they are increasing the risk of that person being hurt or worse (after July 13th 2024, this cannot be denied) then we would do well to remember the following passage from the book of Proverbs:
Do not enter the path of wicked men
And do not step into the way of evil men.
Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Stray from it and pass on.
For they do not sleep unless they do evil;
And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.
For they eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.
(Proverbs 4:14-17 LSB)
A Sittason, “Living In A Salt Land,” Chapter 12.
They lie and twist everything that Trump says and then they bend the law to impeach and convict him for imaginary crimes.
Remember the two impeachments? Both were based on the twisting of words, context and facts.
A description of the inveterate liars in the legacy media who abuse their position in our society and want to “cancel” anyone who exposes their lies can be found in the thirty-sixth psalm:
An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked person:
Dread of God has no effect on him.
For with his flattering opinion of himself, he does not discover and hate his iniquity.
The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good, and he does not reject evil. (Psalm 36:1-4 CSB)

So where are all the Jewish organizations and leaders decrying the despicable comparisons of Trump to Hitler?
The cutting room floor
By the way, you are asking this question in a forum started and funded by a Jewish leader and his discover-the- -network.
You have him to thank.
Prager may be the most insightful, clearest thinking commentator available to the general public. It’s unfortunate that so many of that public are scrounging slobs.
I’m happy to see that Prager agrees with me, even if he is wrong on a key point. The shooter was not a fellow ginned up by Leftist hatred. The fall guy was a shooter ginned up by Leftist hatred. Not only does this attempt have all the characteristics of a National Government CIA/FBI assassination attempt, there is an audio analysis by Chris Mortensen that shows there were two and maybe three shooters, plus the fall guy,Crooks. Let’s review the JFK and RFK assassinations. The fall guys were Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan. With JFK there was film of a shooter on a rise near the highway shooting. With RFK four holes with powder burns were found on the back of RFK’s coat—where the Secret Service were. The government has built a wall around this information. In this one, fortunately the man who did the analysis has formed a private citizen’s investigation group. Perhaps the government will be nailed to the wall this time.
Thanks, Dennis. Good and thoughtful article.
