Donald Trump is Using a Hitler Strategy

The topic of the Debate: Is Donald Trump Using a Hitler Strategy. I have read your response and it appears you are trying to claim Trump is not using a Hitler Strategy because Hitler has Muslim friends. Is that your position? My response to that assertion is what evidence do you have that Trump actually has Muslim friends and do they also consider him a friend? Do you have any quotes from his Muslim friends after he made the remarks I quoted? POINT NUMBER 1: I present as evidence that Muslims are not friends with Trump after those quoted remarks and Muslims have condemned Trump for those remarks. Muhammad Ali. a Muslim and a long time friend of Trump condemned his comments: "We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda," Ali, 72, said in a clear reference to Mr Trump. "I believe that our political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of Islam and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people's views on what Islam really is. " Muhammed Ali Russell Simmons owner of Def Jam records, a Muslim and a long time friend of Trump condemned Trumps comments on Muslims in the media. "My friends, both Muslims and Jews, are saying there are so many comparisons between your rap and Hitler"s, and I cannot disagree with them, Donald. You can"t possibly want your kids or your wife Melania (all of whom I know and respect) to live with that. " Russel Simmons So those are two close friends of Trump that have worked with Trump and Mr. Simmons has flown with Trump on his Personal jet and met his family and both condemned Trump's comments on Muslims and Mr. Simmons referred to those comments as being like the rhetoric Hitler used. Therefore, unless you have some quotes of Trump's Muslim friends after he made those comments that supports Trump and your position I must highly reject your position as hearsay with no evidence and the evidence I have posted shows that Trump's Muslim friends obviously felt threatened by his hate rhetoric and referred to it as Hitler rhetoric. I assert that Trump claiming he has Muslim friends is in no way evidence that he is not using a Hitler strategy. POINT NUMBER 2: You made this quote from Hitler with no context for your argument? "To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens. " -Adolph Hitler I can only assume that you believe that people that want to disarm civilians are like Hitler and therefore because Trump has called for arming citizens he can not be using a Hitler strategy? That argument fails on it's face as Trump has also been quoted that he would ban assault rifles: "I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today"s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record. " Source: The America We Deserve, by Donald Trump, p.102 , Jul 2, 2000 I contend Trump is using fear rhetoric to arm people along with hate rhetoric against Mexican illegals and Muslims in attempt to get them to act out their hate in violence towards his selected enemy. Hitler wanted to ban weapons of his enemies and he armed his SS and Brownshirts to protect him from rivals. He surrounded himself with bodyguards out of fear of an attack on his life and Trump was the first Republican candidate to ask for 24/7 secret service protection. Those are not the actions of people that want everyone to have a gun. Those are actions of people afraid of guns. EVIDENCE: "Police in Boston say that one of two brothers who allegedly beat a homeless Hispanic man cited Trump"s message on immigration as a motivation for their attack. "Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported," Scott Leader, 38, told officers, according to a police report cited by The Boston Globe. . http://www.theatlantic.com... Donald Trump"s Anti-Muslim Rhetoric Caused 19 Acts of Domestic Terrorism Last Week "63 recorded attacks on mosques in 2015 alone" " an increasing number of Americans automatically see Muslims, no matter how peaceable and tolerant, and see a terrorist. It has led to 19 separate violent attacks on Muslims and their places of worship" . http://www.politicususa.com... POINT NUMBER 3: You posted three quotes from Trump claiming his treatment of women. You did not post any evidence other than what Trump himself said about his treatment of women. You have no evidence in the form of quotes from women he has known or that worked with him and only his own opinion. Trump's own opinion of how he treats women is not evidence of how he actually treats women. I contend that Trump treats women and minorities as second class citizens the same as Hitler used in his strategy. EVIDENCE: Donald Trump insults Carly Fiorina's appearance "Look at that face! " he cries. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president? !" . http://www.cbsnews.com... The history of Donald Trump's insults to women In 2012, he tweeted that Arianna Huffington "is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man"he made a good decision. " On Celebrity Apprentice: All-Stars in 2013, he mused about the "pretty picture" of former Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick "dropping to your knees. " He called opposing counsel in a deposition "disgusting" for wanting to break to pump milk for her 3-month-old daughter. In his book, How to Get Rich, he wrote: "All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me"consciously or unconsciously. That"s to be expected. " In a 1991 Esquire interview, he said: "You know, it doesn"t really matter what [the media] write as long as you"ve got a young and beautiful piece of [profanity]. " Most famously, in a 2006 feud involving Miss USA, he called Rosie O"Donnell an "animal," an "extremely unattractive person," and a "slob. " . http://fortune.com... Donald Trump's 'blood' comment about Megyn Kelly draws outrage "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever. " . http://www.cnn.com... SUMMARY: It appears you are basing your defense of Trump solely on the word of Trump with no evidence that his words are true. You did not provide a single quote from his Muslim friends or women that supports his position or yours. I provided several quotes from well known and respected Muslim friends of Trump that have openly condemned his position and referred to his rhetoric as Hitler hate rhetoric. I provided several quotes that shows Trump has supported a ban on assault weapons and that his use of armed security is not an indication of his words. Actions speak louder than words and he is obviously afraid of being shot. I provided the stories of people that have said they were inspired by Trump to commit violence. I provided quotes from Trump that show his lack of respect for women and use of vulgar attacks on women and the fact that Trump has divorced two of his wives for his mistresses is also evidence of how he thinks about women. You did not address his comments about Mexican illegals and you did not address Trump's use of his Christian claims to develop a following which are direct evidence of his Hitler agenda. It appears all you have is what Trump has said about himself with no evidence of truth from other sources. I am sure if you asked Hitler he would tell you he was a really great guy but the evidence clearly shows otherwise!
