Now he's going "L.A. would have burned to the ground if I hadn't sent
the National Guard in."
Trump is angling for his own Reichstag moment. Wikipedia summary:
The Reichstag fire (German: Reichstagsbrand) was an arson attack on the
Reichstag building, home of the German parliament in Berlin, on Monday, 27
February 1933, precisely four weeks after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as
Chancellor of Germany. Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council communist,
was the culprit; the Nazis attributed the fire to a group of Communist
agitators, used it as a pretext to claim that Communists were plotting
against the German government, and induced President Paul von Hindenburg to
issue the Reichstag Fire Decree suspending civil liberties and pursue a
"ruthless confrontation" with the Communists.] This made the fire pivotal
in the establishment of Nazi Germany.
I thought most of them weren't even on the streets and inside sleeping
on hard floors.
When the recession he alone caused hits in the second half of the year
he'll go "We'd be in another Great Depression right now if I hadn't put
those tariffs on all the countries."
The sad thing is his imbecile followers believe it all.
Even more sad is that fact-checking Trump's brainfarts seems to be a
thing of the past.
