Anand Giridharadas: Hitler Was Not as Bad as Trump, At Least He Wasn’t “Selling Merch”
“I think he’s [Donald Trump] like, a highly incompetent person trying to do an authoritarian attempt and trying to barnacle the authoritarian attempt with so much personal stealing or whatever, which, by the way, a lot of these authoritarians have the discipline to not do. I don’t know. Someone’s going to call me on. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t think Hitler was selling merch.”
— Frequent MS NOW guest Anand Giridharadas on Real Patriotism with Terry Moran, March 11.

He has to go!...Iran could never - in a million years - harm this country as much as Donald Trump has harmed it, in the last two weeks.”
