Since I began to blog, in 2011, I have noted several times [FN1], differences between trump and the Austrian former corporal who, for 12 years and three months, ruled a “thousand-year Reich.”
Hitler wrote a best seller, was financially solvent, won office, and did not dodge the draft. 1/5

Today, John Cleese apologized for stating five ways “Hitler was preferable to [t]rump”: fought for his country, never used a teleprompter, was nice to dogs, wrote his own books, never played golf and wasn’t a big fat slob. [FN2] We overlap on a couple of points. 2/5

Mr Cleese should not apologize for his bit. Mel Brooks said the Nazis were good on the soap box, but lousy at comedy. About trump, I have to say the only gov’t housing that that would-be dictator should have is not the White House, but BOP. We are fighting evil. 3/5

I would note, however, that Mr Cleese’s research comes up short on an important point. I have noted Hitler had only one testicle, while trump, in Putin’s presence, acts like he has no testicles. Maybe that was why trump paid Stormy Daniels “hush” money. 4/5

Footnotes: FN1. As recently as 07/18/23. FN2. @JohnCleese on what was called “Twitter.” 5/5
