No doubt former President Donald Trump would have happily hosted Benito Mussolini, Josef Mengele and Bull Connor for Christmas dinner if they were around to say nice things about him. Compliments directed Trump’s way seem to be the only prerequisite for getting an invitation to dine with the twice-impeached ex-president.
Recently, Trump welcomed the anti-Semitic rap musician Ye .. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/trump-faulted-for-dinner-with-white-nationalist-rapper-ye/ .. — formerly known as Kanye West — to his Mar-a-Lago compound and Ye brought along a plus one, Nick Fuentes, who is a Holocaust-denying white nationalist agitator. When reports of the cozy supper became public, Trump was widely condemned, even by a few of the Republicans who have, until now, been too cowed by their party leader to say anything even slightly critical about him.
Trump now claims he had no idea who Fuentes was, which is a bit hard to believe. Was he truly unaware that Fuentes has given him the ultimate compliment by declaring on his social media platform that Trump should be president again — and that there should be no more elections thereafter so that Trump could be a white nationalist dictator for life?
