Donald Trump: 'Mussolini Is Mussolini... What Difference Does It Make?' | Meet The Press | NBC News

"Do you want to be associated with a fascist?"

"..No, I want to be associated with interesting quotes"
😂😂😂

[D]

“It’s ok to know it was a Mussolini quote” Based 😂

[johnroe]

"Do you want to be associated with a fascist?"
*Long Pause*
Trump: "No I want to be associated with interesting quotes"
Hahaha this guy is huge meme.

[scpmr]

I guess if Mussolini had said "good morning" you wouldn't be supposed to say "good morning" anymore

[soupe]

"Hi how are you doing today."
Mao, Stalin, and Hitler

[fnsr]

It's just an italian very used proverb. Maybe MUssolini quoted it once, but it's not linked to him. Should we not say "goodbye" couse Mussolini quoted it?

[laughable]

He almost said “I love Mussolini” lmao

[MrAlex]

Everyone is free to have his opinion on any matter, but the Duce made history!

[michellebaird]

Lol, he almost said 'I love Mussolini' lol!!

[Benny_M_]

The usual double standard. Churchill described Mussolini as the ‘Roman genius’ and ‘the greatest law giver among living men', knowing who il duce was. And nobody complains

[claudius]

The quote was not Mussolini, but was an Italian soldier during the Battle of Piave river, the Duce merely repeat, this whole discussion is pointless.

[trueessence]

I love this quote and it is100 per cent correct for those of us who can think for our selves.

[loganshotrodx]

Hitler once said & I quote, “...now that I know men, I prefer to be in the company of dogs.”
Agreement with or finding merit with that statement does not make you a Jew hating mass murdering tyrant... it just means that you prefer to spend time with your pets more than other people.

[Democratic_Idiocracy]

One Speech I Love Was

It doesn't matter whether they revile us or laugh at us, the important thing is they mentioned us

[Soda-bdyf]

"Do you want to be associated with a fascist?" What a desperate question...I think Trump didn't realize or better yet doesn't care who made that quote. But you can tell when someone is reaching for criticism with a question like that.

[LuKaGuitarzz]

Almost every single person in Italy uses this quote without even knowing it was from Il Duce . Who cares, it is a good quote without hate or divisive content, no much difference to the Spartan quote about dying on your feet and not living on your knees.

[MarchOnRome]

So many people are so uneducated on Mussolini. Obviously he made a big mistake aligning with Germany, but before that, he was an amazing leader for his country. Hitler wanted a master race, Mussolini didn't care about race, he just loved his nation. Don't get them confused.

[usedxx]

How funny is it that they spent time and resources into sending Trump multiple Mussolini quotes a day for months and when he finally retweets it he owns it like a boss and if anything it helped his reputation.

[haydnsolo]

Trump and Mussolini are both pretty based

[miguelrotaeche]

Mussolini was not painting his face orange. There is a difference.
