Trump claims largest ever crowd for inaugeration

[Pat Mustard]

This is worrying isn't it!

Yes, it is. This feeling of grandeur more than anything else. He's not your usual idiot, he's lost all contact with planet earth.

You have your Hitler.

He's not Hitler. He's a danger on his own merit. And Hitler only lost touch with reality later on. Not right at the start.

I wouldn't be sure about that. The man who wrote Mein Kampf was clearly cookoo for coco pops, and that was 1924. And you have to remember Hitler was willing to thrash the German economy to build a "world beating" army the day he entered office, he was willing to thrash the whole apparatus of government to ensure nobody could become powerful enough to challenge him, he was looking to enact the final solution almost from day one and he was massively paranoid, seeing conspiracies against him round every corner.

If anything Trump is probably more stable today than Hitler was on 30/01/1933.
