I must admit that Trump MAY have had nothing to do with the debacle in question, but the fact is the White House press refused only those publications that are kind to the president. I don't care if Brietbart gets a special spot and gets to ask questions that are of little or no importance, but blatant disregard for First Amendment rights is an out rage.
Let's start with some basic thoughts before liberals start chanting "off with her head" and conservatives cry about how the press never treats The Donald fairly. Let's start by laughing at ourselves.
Every president since "Slick Willy" Clinton has been likened to Adolf Hitler by the competing press, which on the face of it is silly. Hitler hated the Bolsheviks and communism. Communists were sent with the Jews to concentration camps and so calling Hitler a communist is way off. Furthermore, He ran under the socialist movement, but he actually didn't like them very much. You know who he liked- himself; this is actually questionable according to a book by Ian Kershaw. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist Dictator. He wasn't a socialist or a communist. He wanted a dictatorship where he was close to the top and then figured out he could be the top. The joke is on us because we call every conservative Hitler because they spend on defense, and every liberal is Hitler because he wants to create social safety packages.
No president in my memory has truly been like Adolf Hitler, but it is a great scare tactic. No one has actually behaved as a fascist. I think that the closest that any president has come is when they overwhelm the minority congressional party. There are questionable act from congress that one may call fascist, but those were not done without a majority of congress. This is a fact to the best of my short research. I am not going to argue about Obama's executive orders, because those are worthless if there is no law to support that order.
The Donald has written executive orders that he says are based on existing laws, but that has been tenuous at best. I have concerns on some of these but I don't know if they actually are too far from the "supporting law". The Donald has focused on fear of Muslims and immigrants. Seriously, if you replace the word Muslim with Jew and his stance would be exactly Hitler's stance.
Hitler forced his party to stand behind him 100% or he would threaten to quit. His party was weak and terrified of losing their best speaker. <--does this sound familiar? It should, because that was The Donald's stance during the election, before he was nominated, when he threatened to start his own party.
Hitler loved to give speeches to his party, and actually preferred rallies because of mob psychology. He felt that people are more open to suggestion in groups and their faculties are actually impaired. The larger the crowd, the more suggestable the individuals became. The Donald is still campaigning passing truly "Fake News" to his followers that then regurgitate it. Then when they are caught in a lie they deflect and bring up something unrelated. He complains about the media to his crowds and demands that he is a victim and those people go out and argue for him.
The Donald is a full moustache Hitler cut out in this regard. A fascist dictator wannabe, from what I can see. He may change but that is what has caused today's outrage. He is now cutting out any media outlet that doesn't paint him in a good light according to reports from the WSJ and NYTimes.
The Donald is actually what conservatives and liberals have accused each other of electing as long as I can remember. The Donald actually has many frightening similarities to Hitler and if he is not checked by congress he may, in an act that happened in a democratic Germany, dismiss the congress.
