'I'm Not A Nazi,' Trump Tells US Campaign Rally

By AFP

October 28, 2024

Donald Trump told campaign supporters Monday in swing state Georgia that he is "not a Nazi," pushing back on critics' accusations that the Republican is seeking to be an authoritarian American leader.

"I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi," Trump told a boisterous crowd in Atlanta, one day after he held a mega-rally in New York's famed Madison Square Garden that was widely condemned for racist remarks that his allies made during the event.

Hmmm....

Is it just me, or is this loser shit? Trump generally doesn't go on the defensive like this.

Trump’s been low energy and on some loser shit all year. He’s lost his touch folks.

Comparatively with Kamala he’s been able to regain some momentum since she’s such a crappy candidate tied to the unpopular Biden regime, but Trump has fallen so far from how he used to be.

Trump taking L's, must be a day that ends in a y

Trump is moving towards the left-of-centre while KKKamala moves towards the right of centre, both know they have the liberal ultras locked in so its fairly transparent what the strat is here.

Dude just alienated a large section of his base. Sad.

I'm pretty sure that actual self-described nazis don't support Trump or the republican party in general because of how they view "the Jewish question".

Not all white supremacists are nazis.

You had actual nazis like Richard Spencer supporting him in 2016. Maybe something changed since then, I'm not sure.

There was also the whole Charlottesville thing where you had a lot of Nazis there too, lots of Trump supporters.

Also Israel is an "answer" to the "Jewish Question", they like that Jewish people have an ethno-state.

Honest question as I genuinely don't know, but are guys like Spencer full on "Hitler did nothing wrong and the Holocaust never happened (but if it did they deserved it)" guys though?

Maybe I'm just expecting too much from the absurdly politically illiterate US populace lol

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Fuentes is that guy. He openly discusses and jokes about how the death camps couldn't have existed (using terrible "logic" of course). That's why he was banned from every relevant social media... until Elon unbanned him (hmm)

Spencer is no less of a Nazi though. He just better understands what you can and can't say publicly while maintaining the thin veil of plausible deniability. He does all the Nazi saluting and support for a white ethnostate... but usually not right out in public. His public persona is more dogwhistles and coded without directly saying the things all the time.

He's very good at hiding his power level.

[-] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

Spencer, as far as I know, yes. He held a small rally which he ended by declaring "Heil Trump" and doing the nazi salute.

"Yesterday the lying fake news media said that Trump said that 'I'm not a Nazi.' What they don't want you to know that Trump is a man of many moods. Some days I say 'I'm not A,' even though it's not so simple. And I might also say 'I'm B,' even though that's also not simple. Trump's Madison Square Garden Rally was strong and powerful and blood and soil so maga..."

"I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi,"

Trump confirmed a tankie

"I am not a nazi" - Trump

"I am a socialist" - Hitler

[-] LigOleTiberal@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

sounds like something a nazi would say

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Well that settles it.

You’re asking a lot of questions already answered by my “I’m not a Nazi” shirt

"I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi,"

Trump displays bodies of his major donors, hanged by the ankles until dead no-fash ; announces formation of Red Guards; places audiobook of himself reading What Is To Be Done by VI Lenin for sale, also available in gold-tinted MP3 CD

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

the opposite of a Nazi

Soooo Trump's a libertarian socialist?

[-] robinn_@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

"libertarian socialist" please PLEASE stop talking

[-] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Horseshoe theory supposes that these two are practically the same tbf
