He was reported to have kept a copy of hitler's book on his nightstand for years, so yeah, there was that. He directly quoted mussolini and stalin at that. There was never any doubt he would try to become like them. It just so happened that the rot in our institutions, and opposition party, was so deep nothing stopped him, even though he's an incompetent braggartty bore. Those are his better qualities. It's depressing we lost our republic, it appears, to that asshole. The party will take over after he's gone too they fully intend on fixing elections.

like hitler he was also methanphetamine and its variants.
