Opinion: Trump said so many stupid things this week, I decided to just round them up excerpt: In two interviews this week – one with Bloomberg, the other with Univision – the Republican presidential nominee referred to COVID-19 as the “China virus,” claimed we are headed toward World War III, mispronounced Vice President Kamala Harris’ name and downplayed the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Despite his repeated gaffes and increasing incoherency, the former president is polling just below the Democratic nominee in terms of support. ABC News' 538 is projecting Harris beating Trump in the polls 48.4% to 46.3%.

Trump has become a clone of Mussolini, Stalin, and Hitler. Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini excerpt: "This language isn’t merely ugly or repellant: These words belong to a particular tradition. Adolf Hitler used these kinds of terms often. In 1938, he praised his compatriots who had helped “cleanse Germany of all those parasites who drank at the well of the despair of the Fatherland and the People.” In occupied Warsaw, a 1941 poster displayed a drawing of a louse with a caricature of a Jewish face. The slogan: “Jews are lice: they cause typhus.” Germans, by contrast, were clean, pure, healthy, and vermin-free. Hitler once described the Nazi flag as “the victorious sign of freedom and the purity of our blood.”"
Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini excerpt: "In the 2024 campaign, that line has been crossed. Trump blurs the distinction between illegal immigrants and legal immigrants—the latter including his wife, his late ex-wife, the in-laws of his running mate, and many others. He has said of immigrants, “They’re poisoning the blood of our country” and “They’re destroying the blood of our country.” He has claimed that many have “bad genes.” He has also been more explicit: “They’re not humans; they’re animals”; they are “cold-blooded killers.” He refers more broadly to his opponents—American citizens, some of whom are elected officials—as “the enemy from within … sick people, radical-left lunatics.” Not only do they have no rights; they should be “handled by,” he has said, “if necessary, National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.”"
