Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club hosted a convicted Jan. 6 rioter and alleged Nazi sympathizer twice this summer, where he was celebrated and gave speeches.
At one event, Trump sent a video praising the attendees as “amazing patriots.”
At the other, he won an award. pic.twitter.com/g7EMJiIvfg
If I know my readers, you probably guessed "Trump" with a quickness and only wondered "Which Hitler enthusiast, though?" But this is where Trump's "MAGA movement" is right now, with Trump clearly saying "we" when referring to the 1/6 insurrectionists during the very revealing debate (because he did want to be there--and also did not turn up and he did tell them to be there and they understood the assignment).
But the answer is the guy who was most obviously Hitler cosplaying as if that was natural. Which Hitler enthusiast even being a question, just like sitting down with obvious antisemitic clowns Kanye and Nick Fuentes, or cozying up to Laura Loomer today, or spreading a blood libel about legal Haitian immigrants in Ohio, is a hell of a sign that Trump has gone mask-off. Or maybe that needs to be: "hood-off"?
