Over the years a large compilation of Hitler documentaries

have been made. Many with footage that wasn’t available for many years after the war. If you have Netflix you can binge on Hitler era documentaries.

We can look at WWII with a perspective we didn’t have before. It’s been 75 years since WWII ended and few people who were in that war survive today. I was born three years after the war ended and I’m 70 years old.

It has occurred to me that there are thousands and thousands of hours of film on Trump and he and his cabinet, his base and lawyers and family will be analyzed and psychoanalyzed for as long as this country records its history. There will be footage for every topic imaginable. There might even be entire college courses about him and his people. Books will also be written and because there is so much footage to use, both pro and against Trump there will be thousands of facts about him and his people. He will probably be used in courses for the study of Malignant Narcissism and other brain disorders with more than enough footage to show the mental disorders on great detail. He will be used to advance the study of Psychiatry.

He will forever be a cautionary tale, even for other countries. And history will not be kind to him, and certainly not kind to the Republicans who have enabled him. Their descendants will have to live with the facts, especially when those facts are on film for everyone to see. I feel sorry for them already. I feel sorry for Trump’s grandchildren and descendants. The name Trump itself will be enough to conjure up an entire era of American and world
history in the same way that Hitler’s name does, or Alexander the Great or Caesar or Socrates.

I just wanted to share some thoughts about our future history.

Practically every move he’s made has been documented. His unhinged rallies, his propensity for using humiliating nicknames, his endless lies which can be disproven by more endless lies saying the opposite will all be available.

Pick a sub-subject of any kind and the video evidence will be more than abundant. For once the media’s endless and compulsive coverage will have provided with an embarrassment of riches more than enough coverage.
