This document discusses several tactics and behaviors that are characteristic of authoritarian regimes and dictators, and provides examples of Donald Trump exhibiting some of these concerning behaviors:
1) Trump attacks the free press and media that criticize him, similar to propaganda techniques used in Nazi Germany.
2) Trump holds large rallies to glorify himself and spread his message, like Hitler and Goebbels did in Nazi Germany.
3) Trump scapegoats immigrants and racial minorities as enemies and dangers, and offers simplistic solutions like building a border wall, mirroring tactics used by authoritarian leaders.
4) Experts have warned that Trump's narcissism, dishonesty, and disregard for facts are traits shared by soci
3. First sign: Attack the free word and media
I hate CNN.
Donald trump has shown his
disgust for the media he doesn't
like. He makes himself funny about
the free word and the press. Some
journalists have become harassed,
purely verbal.
In Nazi Germany (1933-1945)
propaganda was used, among other
things, to spread anti-Semitism
(Judaism) and to emphasize the
perfection of Nazism and Adolf Hitler.
... propaganda in order to convince
the population that the regime's
thoughts and ideas are the only right.
In Germany, cheap radios were
manufactured so that the people
could listen to the right message
4. Show power hold mass meetings
When Joseph Goebbels stops at the
desk on November day 1925 and picks
up his pen, he is almost euphoric after
his first meeting with Adolf Hitler.
"That man has everything it takes to be
king," Goebbels writes enthusiastically
in his diary, in which he also describes
Hitler's "big blue eyes," which sparkle
"like stars."
Donald Trump likes mass meetings. Glorious
message of its own importance.
Create a strong group of loyal voters.
Riots (6 January 2021 Washington and four
people killed) On CNN Trump named as a
Sociopat.
5. Find an enemy / danger
Immigrants from certain
designated countries.
Lower standing people. Point
out entire groups of people
6. Present a given solution to that problem
Close the boundaries of
some countries' citizens.
Build a wall.
Murder selected groups or people
7. Clear out among close co-workers
Clear out among close co-
workers. Select anyone who
says yes to Trump's
proposal
He (Ernst Röhm) was murdered on
the orders of Adolf Hitler during the
cleansing operation called the Long
Knives Night.
8. Organize competition for the defense force
Schutzstaffel, which literally means
the Security Division (SS) was a
paramilitary fighting organization
with elite personnel belonging to the
National Socialist German Workers'
Party (NSDAP). The organization was
recognized after the war for its
extensive crimes, especially in
connection with the Holocaust.
The United States Space Force or
the United States Space Force
(abbreviated USSF), since 2019, has
been the defense branch
responsible for space.
9. Take control of the courts
Donald Trump may
influence the court's
direction by favoring
some new judges
The Court handed down an enormous
number of death sentences under Judge-
President Roland Freisler, including those
that followed the plot to kill Hitler on 20
July 1944. Many of those found guilty by
the Court were executed in Plötzensee
Prison in Berlin.

10. Cheat at all costs in elections. Feel free to put democracy at risk.
Leader Adolf Hitler Otto Wels Ernst Thälmann
Party NSDAP SPD KPD
Election 33.09% 20.43% 16.86%
This would be the last contested election held in
Germany before World War II. Two weeks after the
election, Hitler was able to pass an Enabling Act on 23
March with the support of all non-socialist parties,
which effectively gave Hitler dictatorial powers.
Within months, the Nazis banned all other parties and
turned the Reichstag into a rubberstamp legislature
comprising only Nazis and pro-Nazi guests.
In 1924, Hitler was
sentenced to the
sentence, five years in
prison for coup d'etat.
566 former prosecutors signed a letter
Medium and they take stock of the
president's actions during the so-called Russia
investigation.
"Each of us believes that President Trump's
actions, as described in Special Prosecutor
Robert Mueller's report, would have resulted
in several felony charges of trying to obstruct
justice if it touched another person who was
not protected by the rules of a sitting
president, "the prosecutors write.

11. Sociopath?
Experts warn in book for Trump. In it, 27 of
the country's foremost psychiatrists,
psychologists and other mental health
experts write about how they view the
president. Theories of pathological
narcissism (self-acceptance) and hedonism
(pleasure pleasure) are presented. The
experts write that it is their moral duty to
warn his countrymen of the president -
and what he is doing to the United States.
Dictatur, massmurderer, sociopat,
Incompetent leader.
12. Racist?
A person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice
against people of other races, or who believes that a
particular race is superior to another.

"Why do we let all these people from
'shithole countries' come here?"
Were the words of the president
according to two politicians who
were at the meeting, the
Washington Post writes.

13. Willing ignorance might be a generous way
to describe President Trump’s worldview.
Given of how much of his day is spent
consuming media, and producing it in the
form of his Twitter feed, his curiosity and
consumption habits have become a matter
of national security. The Russians don’t need
spies in the White House if their
disinformation campaigns find a host in the
Oval Office.

threat to democracy

14. Donald Trump ljuger inte bara mer utan också långt värre än sina
föregångare. Sättet som USA:s president ljuger på påminner om hur ledare i
diktaturer agerar – och riskerar att forma om presidentämbetet för all
framtid, enligt en forskare.
Donald Trump not only lies more but also far worse than his predecessors.
The way the US president lies is reminiscent of how dictatorial leaders act -
and risk reshaping the presidency for all time, according to one researcher.
Trump kommer med påståenden som är uppenbart osanna
och som är lätta att avslöja som lögner. Men det struntar han
i. Han verkar anse att han inte måste acceptera fakta på
samma sätt som alla andra, säger Pfiffner.
Trump comes with statements that are obviously untrue and
that are easy to reveal as lies. But he ignores that. He seems
to think he doesn't have to accept facts in the same way as
everyone else, Pfiffner says.
James P. Pfiffner is University Professor of Public
Policy at George Mason University. His major areas of
expertise are the Presidency, American National
Government, and Public Management. He has lectured
on these topics at universities in Europe and
throughout the United States as well as at the Federal
Executive Institute, the National War College, the U.S.
Military Academy, and at the State, Justice, and
Defense Departments.
