A former FBI official warned Monday that President Donald Trump has been repeating quotes made by a white supremacist, neo-Nazi mass murderer — and demanded to know who has been “spoon-feeding” the president “white supremacy, white terrorist philosophy.”

    Isn’t there that techno feudalist with no chin who hangs with peter theil, and praises Anders frequently?

        Guess Who USA Conservative Politics edition, how fun!

        Does your person wear a mustache? Has your person been convicted of voter fraud and campaign embezzlement at once? Does your person wear a hat? Has your person been caught sucking dick under a bathroom stall?

    The real shocker isn’t that Trump’s regurgitating quotes from a genocidal maniac—it’s that anyone’s still pretending this isn’t the logical endpoint of his brand of performative authoritarianism. Breivik’s playbook is now GOP canon, repackaged as late-night Truth Social fanfiction for the terminally aggrieved.

    Priebus and his ilk spin this as “entertainment,” a gaslighting routine so thin it’d collapse under a toddler’s scrutiny. Enablers laundering fascist rhetoric as “political discourse” are the real architects here, greasing the wheels for a man who can’t distinguish between Sun Tzu and a mass shooter’s manifesto.

    The question isn’t who’s spoon-feeding him this slop. It’s why the entire Republican apparatus still licks the bowl clean. Democracy’s autopsy will list cause of death as complacency—with a footnote about cable news turning white supremacy into a primetime sport.

    Well, there’s Musk and Miller off the top of my head. Probably everyone else in the administration too.

      I’d argue that there isn’t anyone spoon-feeding him anything. They’re all just like that.

        I don’t think that Trump is smart enough to come up with that by himself. He probably heard it from Miller or Musk. Maybe he thinks it’s original (in the same way that he brought the word “groceries” back), but it’s not.

    His dad was in the KKK, I don’t think you need to keep treating Trump like an impressionable toddler, he’s been a racist for his entire life.

      Trump has always been racist, but not from the pseudo-intellectual side of racist culture. He definitely is an impressionable toddler. He never seems to actually comprehend what anything he says actually means, which is why he only talks in word salad.

    Nobody has to spoon feed those quotes to him. The only thing Trump is known for actually reading is a book of Hitler quotes.

    Elmo is right fuckin’ there, dude. Before that ultra-divorced manchild, it was C+ Santa Monica fascist Stephen Miller.

    Weird, I was thinking just the other day that Trump is starting to seem like someone who’s been brainwashed. Like, I know Trump has always been Trump… greedy, power-hungry, a liar, etc. But they say people who are brainwashed were already predisposed to it… and Trump didn’t look to be in his right mind during that press conference with Musk, sitting there like a passive, obedient, lovesick puppy.

      It would be the most expedient route to keeping him useful if either of the folks who tried to take a shot at him were legit threats rather than stunts.

    Himself? He’s had a book of Hitler’s speeches on his nightstand as far back as the ex wife he had buried on his golf course. It’s insanity that what I just typed is real life and not madlibs.

    I know Vance repeats Curtis Yarvin’s stuff, which is weird stuff about making a monarchy. Haven’t delved deeper to see if it’s racist too.

    The clown king said he needed generals like Hitler had.

    Why is he just asking this now?

      One of the few things I will agree with Trump on is that he should have generals that are exactly as loyal as Hitler’s.

        Hilariously this is the endpoint of all sycophants. Loyal until the power is threatened, then you see how quick they run.
