That slogan "Make America great again" made us Germans very uneasy from the start, cause we remember the last guy who promised us (very literally) to make Germany great again.

    Where do you think Trump got the idea for it?

    I know that Trump secretly admires moustache guy. But I honestly don't think he is well-read or intelligent enough to realize it's exactly the same slogan moustache guy used. With Trump, willful ignorance is always the most likely option because malicious intent requires a degree of intellect he does not possess.

    Ivana said Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches by the bed. He definitely knows it's the same slogan.

    Well, I still doubt he read them all.

    As a German native speaker, I have listened to almost all of the publicly available Hitler speeches, and I found it incredibly hard to keep paying attention. It's as bad as Mein Kampf - just weird sequences of relatively incoherent segments of his twisted world views. Very hard to follow.

    And Trump is well known for his extremely short attention span. I would be very, very surprised if that man managed to read even a single Hitler speech from start to finish in one sitting.

    I'd assume it was Ronald Reagan since it was also his slogan in the 1980's.

    It's pretty clear that Trump is a fascist piece of shit but this game he is playing has been going on a lot longer than people think.
