“There was an extraordinary excerpt from yet another book on the Trump White House. According to an excerpt published in the New Yorker from The Divider: Trump in the White House, by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, Trump complained to his chief of staff John Kelly, a former Marine Corps general: ‘You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?’ That’s right, Fox News was out there every day being like, ‘these liberals are so over the top, always comparing Trump to Hitler.’ Meanwhile, Trump was going ‘why won’t people treat me more like Hitler? Why not?’ It actually got more alarming than that, because Kelly reportedly pointed out that Hitler was almost assassinated three times by his military leaders. Trump replied: ‘No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him.’ I don’t know why, but I feel like that information didn’t change Trump’s opinion of the German generals. Knowing Trump, he was probably like, ‘Those losers tried to kill Hitler three times and they choked like a dog … you know who was able to kill Hitler on the first try? Hitler. It’s called leadership, people.’” —Trevor Noah

and Orwell’s 1984.”
