    A 79-year-old Holocaust survivor says in a new interview that the U.S. under President Trump feels like Germany did just before the Nazis took over.

    Stephen Jacobs told Newsweek that the rise of the far-right under Trump “feels like 1929 or 1930 Berlin.”

    “Things just go from bad to worse every day,” he said. “There’s a real problem growing.”

    Jacobs, a New York architect who said he knows Trump personally, referred to the president as an “enabler” of far-right rhetoric.

    “Things that couldn’t be said five years ago, four years ago, three years ago — couldn’t be said in public — are now normal discourse,” he said. “It’s totally unacceptable.”

    “I couldn’t say that Trump is a fascist because you’ve got to know what fascism is,” he said. He also said that the president is “a sick, very disturbed individual” who is “out for himself.”

    Jacobs designed the Holocaust memorial at Buchenwald and spoke with Newsweek ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 12.
    this dude's an imbecile.

    Hitler is a righty. Just like Mussolini and Trump. Trump wants unfettered power. He needs all the fettering he can get.

    Perhaps but the Holocaust survivor did say it. It was a speculation based on his experience. He knew he wasn't there during 1929-1930.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
