Melania Trump in New Interview Insists Donald Trump Is 'Not Hitler'

Source: NBC News

Melania Trump, the generally inscrutable but increasingly visible wife of presumptive Republican front-runner Donald Trump, offered a peek into her life at Trump Tower and relationship with her polarizing husband in an interview with Du Jour magazine published Tuesday.

...

"When I mention that the comedian Louis C.K. flat out compared Trump to Hitler, Melania stares blankly back at me," author Mickey Rapkin wrote.

...

"We know the truth. He's not Hitler," she insisted. "He wants to help America. He wants to unite people. They think he doesn't but he does. Even with the Muslims, it's temporary."

when you have to start defending someone against being Hitler there is a problem.
Anyway even Hitler had an Eva Braun, who probably didn't think he was Hitler. Oh wait.............

What he omitted is that Melania stares blankly at him 99% of the time.

If you have to defend not being it, people will label you with it anyways.

one who will say anything to get the vote, one who will use hate and fear as his back drop,but all said and done he's a good guy in the end run,because it's all temporary. Donald Trump no doubt has many masks to hide behind, in fact so many that nobody really knows who or what that guy is. There is a different Donald for every occasion. The problem is, nobody knows what the real deal is where it all comes down to the Donald.

The scary part of it is, Trump may be keeping that from himself until it is time for the real deal to go down. Trump is a man that firmly believes in the saying as it is, mind your own business,thing of it is the business of America is not his alone.It allowed him to become very rich. If he ever really wanted to put something back, he will have started that action a long time ago.

I didn't know anything about the guy before that, but after that, I knew he played baseball and he was probably gay.

Thinks her sugar daddy is not Hitler.

I concur. Way to set the bar low.

Hitler (whom I obviously despise) was not a narcissistic loonie who reveled in personal aggrandizement, sexual and other pleasure, collection of personal wealth above all, and all the other traits of Trump. Hitler, believed in a foul political movement and certain awful abstract ideas, and was selfless in a loonie, evil, sort of way.

Trump is much more like Mussolini who viewed political power as a means to get rich, set his family up, and have lots of mistresses and the best material things of this world.

So, yes, Melanoma is correct, Trump is no Hitler. He's another kind of fascist.
