    Oh no, not just “mirrors”. Trump has openly said he admires many dictators and genocidal maniacs, including Kim Jong Un, Hitler, Mussolini (apparently his favorite), and Andrew Jackson.

        I’m pretty sure he’s said favourable stuff about those dictators in the past but don’t have the time rn. He did however use the term vermin in a speech to refer to people he doesn’t agree with which is textbook fascist. Have a nice day.

          I’m pretty sure he’s said favourable stuff about those dictators in the past but don’t have the time rn.

          I think he’s called them smart or strong before, but he also called al-Baghdadi smart before saying he died like a cowardly dog- so I don’t think you can really say that saying someone had respectable attributes means you like the person.

          As for insulting people with vermin, I don’t really see that as a specifically fascist thing, Trump insults a lot of different people with a lot of different words, I’m not surprised fascists used some of them.

          Have a nice day.

          Thanks you too!
