Whether during the time of the ancient Greeks, the 1930s, or 2016, a demagogue is a demagogue. Bill Maher proved this last night  on his show Real Time when he had a speech of Nazi dictator Adolph Hitler  translated  to English in order to contextualize Donald Trump s hate speeches. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPAVj8NCt8I]It has been reported that Trump has kept a compilation of Hitler s speeches next to his bedside over the years and according to his wife Ivanka, he would go through it sometimes. As first reported in a 1990 Vanity Fair profile of Trump, this alarming practice has been added to the arsenal some in the crumbling Republican party are using to try and potentially block a Trump nomination at the Republican Convention in July. Here s the transcript of Mahar s  translation : We re going to make Germany great again, that I can tell you. Germany doesn t win anymore. England, France, America   they re laughing at us. The Treaty of Versailles? A terrible deal!  And look, I love the Jews   nobody loves the Jews more than me, but folks, either we have a Fatherland or we don t. So we re gonna have to build a camp. And I will make the Jews pay for it. When putting Trump s words in the context of both Hitler s words and deeds, Trump s statements and antics are truly revealed for their xenophobic and racist tones. After all, a demagogue is a demagogue whether then or now. Featured image via Wikimedia Commons.
