Trump the demagogue in Duluth

Below is an article from yesterday's Guardian.

It is worth listening and indeed watching the almost hour-long Trump speech in Duluth, Minnesota.

President Trump is a demagogue, who has the ability to enrage people, to make them scream words of hatred and violence.

It is always advised never ever to use Hitler as a comparison but watching this Trump speech one is left dumbfounded and can't but avoid comparing him to Hitler and the reaction of the crowd is just as it was by the adoring Hitler fans, who were awestruck by their Führer who was going to make Germany great again and remove all foreigners from German territory.

Trump brings out the worst in people. His reference here to the young protester, shouting out not knowing whether 'that is a boy or a girl' is appalling. On another occasion he tells someone to 'go home to their mommy'.

And the crowd love every word he says.

His statement about 200 remains of soldiers being returned from North Korea has no substance whatsoever in reality.

But how unwise it was of Hillary Clinton ever to have used that word 'deplorables'.
