There you go again accusing someone of outrage. You have a different definition of outrage than everyone else on this forum.

Edited thread title: Can one of the rightist neocons on this forum please tell us how this evil, senile, and corrupt ex president can be the GOP frontrunner when he thinks Barrack Obama is still president? He said it. Watch the video

Could someone please tell him Obama hasn't been president for a decade.

Yeah, the original title was much funnier, but detecting subtlety isn't one of the intended targets strong points.

Trump's vermin comment yesterday and Rolling Stone's article where he bragged that Merkel said ‘Only one other political leader’ drew bigger crowds

"Donald Trump repeatedly bragged that former German Chancellor Angela Merkel had complimented his ability to draw large crowds, possibly unaware that Merkel had been subtly comparing him to former Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, according to Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party, a new book by Jonathan Karl.

According to a review of the book by Politico,  Trump glowed under what he felt was praise from Merkel, repeating the statement at least twice to members of Congress.

“She told me that there was only one other political leader who ever got crowds as big as mine,” Trump reportedly said on one occasion.  According to Karl the congressman who heard the comment, a Trump ally, refrained from clarifying Merkel’s comment to the former president despite understanding the implied dig and reference to Hitler"

I'm not saying he admires Hitler. But knowingly, or more likely unknowingly he does.

Trump's vermin comment yesterday and Rolling Stone's article where he bragged that Merkel said ‘Only one other political leader’ drew bigger crowds

Speaking of vermin:

From the linked article:

Edited to bolden Trumps' actual words.

“Today, ‘in honor of our great Veterans,’ ex-President demands on social media to ‘root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country,’ presidential historian Michael Beschloss tweeted Saturday. “Please tell us if this reminds you of any earlier historical figure.” The use of “vermin,” according to Michael Tomasky, the editor of The New Republic, is “an unusual word choice….And it appears in history in chiefly in one context, and one context only,” calling it Trump’s usage “straight-up Nazi talk, in a way he’s never done quite before.”

and

Trump’s populist appeal and incendiary rhetoric are often compared to Hilter’s cult of personality and authoritarian rule. Trump sparked widespread outrage last month when he accused undocumented immigrants of “poisoning the blood of our country” in an interview with the right-wing website, The National Pulse. “Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists,” Trump said, adding “It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have.” Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt warned the statement “echoes nativist talking points and has the potential to cause real danger and violence,” he told multiple outlets, while the New York Times pointed out that several passages in Hilter’s “Mein Kampf” describe the “influx of foreign blood” as “poison.”

Still not saying he's a Nazi, but perhaps his words are troubling?

"A Clean Shot To The Kidneys"

Then there is this guy picking a fight with the teamster president. Where I come from you don’t mess with teamsters. I guess this guy with three names in two is a pretty tough and bad assed cowboy whose behavior most folks would think is very a bad look for a US senator. His voters will probably eat it up, though. I posted the whole six minute exchange and though Bernie Sanders handled it as best as he could. So did the teamster guy, not so much Sen. Markwayne Mullin. On edit he’s a cowboy/plumber.

Speaking of Richard he seems to be missing in action. I was sure he would come on the forum to thank Russ for his birthday wishes yesterday, but he must be out on maneuvers getting ready for the coming civil war to rid the country of all of the marxist leftists. I'm only half joking. 

I though Russ' post was brilliant by the way. I only stumbled onto those videos recently and had been wondering when or if I could ever use them. Figures old Rich can't take a joke.

Maybe he's out testing his body armor:
