(54,477 posts)The translation in the subtitles isn't always 100% accurate, and the comedian who dubbed Hitler's voice is Bavarian, not Austrian, and he doesn't even bother to imitate Hitler's accent. But his screaming and "emotional" delivery mocks Hitler pretty well, and apparently quite a few Neo-Nazis went crazy when this satire of their Führer got so widely distributed.

Also, although I can't really watch more than a few seconds of Drumpf speechifying, I see from this he has some Hitleresque mannerism tendencies.

(54,477 posts)Like David Duke, there are always some who think how good they were.
I doubt Trump has the intellectual capacity to learn from a tape of Hitler. I doubt he has the intellectual capacity at this point to learn from "Fun With Dick And Jane." Similarities probably result from a general common trait in all evil demagogues.

(9,773 posts)Or, at least that was popular with some. Seems Hitler's speed was cocaine. From an interview with Norman Ohler, author of the relatively new book, Blitzed.
When Hitler fell seriously ill in 1941, however, the vitamin injections that Morell had counted on no longer had any effect and so he began to ramp things up. First, there were injections of animal hormones for this most notorious of vegetarians, and then a whole series of ever stronger medications until, at last, he began giving him a wonder drug called Eukodal, a designer opiate and close cousin of heroin whose chief characteristic was its potential to induce a euphoric state in the patient (today it is known as oxycodone). It wasnt long before Hitler was receiving injections of Eukodal several times a day. Eventually he would combine it with twice daily doses of the high grade cocaine he had originally been prescribed for a problem with his ears, following an explosion in the Wolfs Lair, his bunker on the eastern front.
