Times like these remind me of how Hitler appointed Ernst Udet to be lead of R&D for the Luftwaffe just cause he liked him for being a debonaire stunt pilot and he was so stressed out over the aircraft needs of Barbarossa that he blew his brains out.
If a fortune telling witch doctor told me 20 years ago that this would be our Ceauşescu I’d tell them to get better material.
At any other point in American history, he would be pulled from office and brought up on criminal charges.

Historians spend years of education and research to flesh out the authoritarian and monarchical leanings of conservatism for the coy denials of its practitioners. Then Trump comes out and says “lol yeah I guess we do be like that.”
Trump: So the line is I’m a dictator, but I stop crime. A lot of people say, if that is the case I would rather have a dictator

Big part of this is the historiography in pop history. As much as I love his liberation trilogy, Atkinson is a bit of a sinner in this case. Much of the word count is dedicated to trashing Fredendall, Clark, Hodges, etc, as well as the lack of strategic consensus after the liberation of Paris.
What really annoys me about the Wehrmacht admiration both institutionally and individually is the American army executed operations, offensively and defensively, at a pretty goddamn high level from 1944-1945, why not really admire that?
You really don’t have to hand it to the German officer corps on WWII but they really did pull one of the all time historiographical Houdinis in their telling of the war

Newsom is my Patton. I really don’t like him personally and he’s got some awful politics but Jaysus does he love to fight and he happens to be on our side.

Marco Rubio has spent his entire career proudly describing his family’s escape from Cuba, and today he tried to sink into the couch as his boss openly sided with the guy who’s trying to revive the Soviet Union.

One of the most bizarre things about Trump is his complete inability to take the Severan approach to the military. He’s still the New York playboy who thinks anyone who didn’t get a draft deferment to Vietnam is a sucker.

The thing I’m really looking forward to in this next admin is Trump invariably committing a third impeachable offense, to which his supporters in congress more or less say “look, Trump just gets to do this kind of wacky shit.”
