Trump should be quoting Lenin to both describe himself and the way his supporters react to him: A lie told often enough becomes truth.

What kind of person quotes a dictator unless they are one. Most Italians don't even like Benito Mussolini.

Who you choose to quote shows a lot about who you admire and emulate. Needing to quote & retweet people also shows that you are a bit lacking in coming up with things you want to say yourself. Well, other than the things he repeats all the time about mexicans, other politicians, world leaders, women, the disabled - those are ALL his!

And yet who on here is quoting Lenin ? I wasn't me. I'm just re tweeting you with this post. Or maybe Lenin didn't say that at all. I don't know.

In order to help with your ignorance about Trump and Hitler: http://www.biography.com/people/donald-trump-9511238 and http://www.biography.com/people/adolf-hitler-9340144 It really pays to understand your subject matter. Here is Mussilini: http://www.biography.com/people/beni...solini-9419443

A good quote is a good quote.

We all know that the anti-Trumps will be out. It isn't like they have a candidate to support since all the others are losers.

Seriously, what are the schools teaching or not teaching today that has people making such ludicrous comparisons. Obviously, the US really needs to concentrate on how to improve the education of our youth.

What part of "should be" is giving you difficulty?

I can assure you a quote from Lenin or Mao would not cause so much of a ripple in the media.

Trump's grandfather changed their last name. It originally was Drumpf. With that in his history, The Donald quoting Fascists takes it to a whole different/higher level.

I feel your pain. It is the 11th hour. May be Trump's spelling of his name will bring him down. Just may be.

Now that they have worn out the Hitler references, the op-ed writers and political cartoonists who hate Trump are now comparing him to Mussolini.

The problem with that is not many Americans know anything about Mussolini. It might as well be ancient history.

According to the latest Gallup poll asking Americans to identify Mussolini:

25% said an expensive Italian sports car.

65% said a daily special at the Olive Garden.

10% said fongool.
