Nice to know you’re giving them legitimacy, then–seeing as you also just got through calling them immigrants.
It’s a dumb remark. If it gave them legitimacy, then “illegal immigrant” would be an oxymoron.

Miss a few meals then get back to me. Or imagine a horrible what-if such as another 9-11 only worse.
I don’t agree with Trump on most things, but stop! Non of our American politicians of either party are the next Hitler (or Stalin)!
I know the left likes to compare anyone they disagree with to Hitler, but this is a just a bit over the top.
I would not compare Trump to Hitler, per se, but I do think that the (as yet untested at the polls) popularity of Trump would provide encouragement to any would-be American Hitlers out there.
And don’t forget, a guy doesn’t have to be a full-on Hitler, causing world war and exterminating millions, to be less than desirable as a national leader.
You never go full Hitler.
(Franco figured out that one early.)
So what you’re saying is that when a reporter pressed Hitler if he would support requiring Jews to wear yellow Stars of David, he “would not go into detail, but did not reject that option”?
Fuck!:smack: What’s next having supporters wear brown shirts to rallies.
I have absolutely no use for Trump, but this report is bogus. Even Snopes says so.
Trump never proposed any kind of “plan” for registering Muslims. He simply didn’t respond with sufficient negativity to a liberal interviewer’s hypothetical question.
Trump is a phony who has no consistent philosophy and has argued both sides of every issue at one time or another. Four years ago, he faulted Mitt Romney for being too negative about illegal aliens. He doesn’t mean a word he says- ever.
Anybody believe he’s pro-life? Please!
Has Snopes seen that Trump doubled down on that?
Trump did double down, so much for Trump not being on board with registration, but he is jumping to the dark side with gusto.
Oh yea, and Trump also wants to bring back torture. Fascists would be proud.

When someone asks you if there is a difference between what Trump proposes (or allegedly proposes, if you prefer), and you answer ‘You tell me,’ what you’re saying is ‘I do not see a difference. If you think there is a difference between what I propose and what Hitler did, you’re going to have to point it out.’
