If it assures you in anyway, my grandfather who was in the war, handed in his 1911.
Also, all it takes is some really bad times for nice people to elect a tyrant. We've seen it before many times in history.
Trump phenomenon fueled on xenophobia, racism, and authoritarianism, which is scary for minorities, is an example of a gov that could go crazy.
I would also argue that all those xenophobic trump fans can legally own guns...
After the last elections in the UK, I don't really trust the "general public" =D

Sentences like this are not arguments they are emotional regurgitations of fear created by endless news cycles of ad hominem attacks and half truths.
Trumphobia is the irrational fear of Donald Trump created by media attacks on a candidate they can not control.
-tweets a statistic that most white people are killed by black people, never apologizes, refuses to backtrack
-pretends he has no idea who white extremist groups or the kkk are when asked point blank whether he will disavow their support
... The list goes on and on
we need to talk about illegal immigration and criminal activity. We need to talk about Black on Black violence not just police violence. Why should he know David Duke is? and he disavowed 15 times.
I love the push back, that is what america is about having debates about important issues, not shouting down people who have different opinions.
The next day "Oh, of course I would. It was a bad earpiece they gave me, I told them it wasn't working well."
Well enough that he heard the question just fine and was able to put together a coherent (if bad) answer. Nope, blame your earpiece. Some disavowal that was.

fair enough, good debate on if trump knew him, but since that first interview where he claimed to have a bad ear piece he had disavowed him many times since.

or maybe they're simple observations of the guy himself talking uninterrupted in his election rallies. i saw some on tv, it was embarrassing.
though you have a point, his campain does resemble Hitler's. sure, it's jews in one and brown people in the other... other than that? the greatest nation on earth under siege! let's make this country great again! they will pay for what they've done to us!
These are the qualities of hitler, I pull it to illustrate how ridiculous and lazy your arguments are.
You get offended by someone saying people coming over the boarder illegally are criminals, yet it is ok compare Trump to someone that called for the killings of tens of millions of people most not jews or brown, but white[1]. I don't see the media yelling for apologies on that one...
Experience is a dear teacher but fools will learn no other way.
