Featured New Trump Campaign Slogan - Has long ties to Nazi Sympathesizers

Donald Trump apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "America First" — a phrase with a long and rich association with American Nazi sympathizers.




This slogan is most associated with aviator Charles Lindbergh, who spent a great deal of time in the late 1930s gushing at how wonderful the Third Reich was. Before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Lindbergh helped form "America First" committees that campaigned to keep the U.S. from fighting the Axis Powers. Lindbergh rose to become a demagogue and accused President Franklin Roosevelt of colluding with a Jewish lobby and Britain to drag America into World War II.

For years this phrase was toxic. Pat Buchanan has used it from time to time, but "America first" and the idea it represented -- American neutrality towards the Nazis -- has been largely banished from respectable discourse.

Now Trump is bringing the phrase back to the mainstream. He deploys it at his campaign rallies. And in his major foreign policy speech Wednesday, there it was right at the top. The real-estate magnate promised to "always put the interests of the American people first." He said: "That will be the foundation of every single decision I will make. 'America first' will be the major and overriding theme of our administration."

A couple of possibilities here:

1. No one in the Trump campaign has any background in history or political science and was ignorant that the phrase "America First" has been used extensively in 20th century American isolationism, Nazi appeasement, and anti-Semitism.

2. The Trump campaign is well aware of the historical usage of "America First" as a slogan in Nazi sympathy public relations campaigns and decided to go with it anyway.

I'm not sure which scenario is the more frightening!

LOL!! You guys never disappoint!

 

You sure? Maybe Trump is "going back to his roots and appealing to his main constituency."

Yeah, I saw it. Trump has a totalitarian streak. He's promising to loosen the libel laws to make it easier to sue journalists and he's put several newspapers and media entities on his blacklist, taking away their press credentials and not allowing them into his events and rallies.

He wants to deport people based on their religious beliefs and not allow others to enter the country based on the same criteria. He mocks the disabled.

Hmmm...I wonder who that reminds me of? Could it be.....Hitler?

 

Ad-hom noted.

Now about my post--What did I say about Trump that is untrue or childish?

 

I'll Google it right after you tell me what is untrue about:

1. Trump wants to loosen libel laws
2. Trump wants to deport people based on their religion
3. Trump wants to ban people of a religion from entering our country.
4. Trump mocks the disabled.

 

1. Nazi sympathizers used the slogan "America First" in the 1940's. This is during the Hitler era.
Trump is using the same slogan.

2. Hitler rounded up people of a certain religion and expelled them from their country's society, eventually killing most of them.
Trump wants to round up people of a certain religion and expel them from society.

3. Hitler imposed severe restrictions on freedom of the press.
Trump wants to loosen libel laws so that it is easier to sue journalists.

Yeah, I know all about Godwin's law, but it's not unfounded to say that Trump has authoritarian tendencies, just like Hitler did.
