Beschloss: Yes, Trump Used Term ‘Bloodbath … in the Context of an Automobile Industry,’ But He’s Like Hitler and Mussolini

EXCERPT:

BESCHLOSS: “Well, I totally agree with what you've just said, Mika, and that's how fascism and totalitarianism. And in Germany's case, the Holocaust came to Germany, which had been a country where there were big institutions of democracy until, as you well know, the early 1930s. In a way of Donald Trump has done us all a favor. Because if you and I have been talking, Mika, let's say 20 years ago, and we had been talking about what would have seemed like a very abstract and distant subject of how fascism and dictatorship might come to America, you probably would have been more wiser, I would have said, you would have had some smiling person pretending to be a normal candidate, like all the candidates for president who had gone before all the way back to 1789, and suddenly, after getting elected, that person would use the enormous powers of the presidency that are given to that person by the Constitution. In a way Donald Trump has made it easier because when he tells you he'll be a dictator for a day, we all know that dictators don't resign after a day. When he uses the word bloodbath, yes, it was in the context of an automobile industry speech, but he knew exactly what he was saying.”
