1. When I was 16, and son of an @AP war correspondent, I worked in the kitchen of a Lenox MA arts camp for teenage Jewish women from NYC. I had the rare privilege to meet & spend an evening with William L. Shirer at a cocktail party where Shirer told stories of covering Hitler.

2. When Trump rose, I realized that, despite that bit if history tucked into my memory, I had never read Shirer's dauntingly-large work: 'The Rise and Fall of Third Reich' and so I bought a Kindle copy that I admit I have not competed reading but use as a reference source.

3. I think I have figured out what Donald Trump's play book is. And it should frighten everyone but especially people in the Jewish community. I'm 100% certain he is following Mein Kampf. What cinched it for me was hearing him prattle on about the threat from socialists

4. and communists that has become his campaign mantra. Trump is a Nazi. Add that to the series of Reichstag Fires he and Bill Barr have been setting in Portland, DC, Minneapolis and Kenosha it becomes clear. Trump may attempt a coup but I am confident that it will fail.

5. But for his enablers, especially Jews who contribute to him and his fascist GOP, shame on you. For his conspirators like @DHS_Wolf and @TheJusticeDept criminal-in-chief Bill Barr, we know who you are and like the people tried at Nuremberg, justice is coming. @IDF @FBIWFO
