    Be careful what you wish for.
    Some other extreme right-wing nutjob was imprisoned after a failed ‘coup’ about 100 years ago.

    That gave him a whole load of martyr rhetoric to play off.

      So Trump shouldn’t face consequences? He should be allowed to just get away with it to stop him becoming a martyr?

      Only because they let him off easy. He should never have been let anywhere near a political position after his coup attempt. Same for Trump!

      Hitler was a hell of a lot younger than Trump though. The shaved orange orangutan is running out of runway for that kind of shit. Hell, as are a lot of his supporters for that matter.

        tbf - i dont think it was really youth he needed, it was probably as much the combination of lingering ww1 debt and the wall st crash .

        Hopefully theres been stock market crashes recently that people are a bit more resilient and dont get so suggestible.

        He didn’t write shit, he dictated it to Hess. And it is a rambling mess.

        If Trump decided to dictate a book to Guilani in jail it would probably have a lot in common with Mein Kampf.

          You got me, I’ve never read it or even recall any excerpts from it, I just assume that he must have been more intelligent than Trump.

        Trump has never written a book. He paid other people to write books and slap his name on the cover. I doubt he’s even read the books he claims to have written.
