Well, Hitler owned much of Mercedes Benz and Porsche. There are still remnants of Hitler era German owned Schindler Elevator. What we’re seeing is the Nazi history repeating itself.

Mercedes-Benz wasn’t nationalized. Prior to the war, Porsche was a design and engineering consultancy that created the design for the Volkswagen but didn’t produce its own cars. 

Ferdinand Porsche was an enthusiastic Nazi and SS member and leadership of Daimler-Benz was also whole-heartedly cooperative with the Nazis. They used massive numbers of prisoners.

There are for sure some parallels in the way some segments of industry are rushing into bed with Trump. I do think it’s more closely mirroring managed capitalism in China or corrupt schemes in Hungary than the Nazi way of business. Hitler wasn’t grifting, he really was trying to mobilize German society for his warped vision of national greatness.

The President may only remove a Fed Member “for cause.” “For cause” in the case of an independent agency member is a high standard. There must be a clear nexus between the alleged misconduct and the official’s duties and responsibilities as a Fed Member.  
 

The alleged misconduct occurred prior to Cook beginning her 14 year term. The misconduct alleged  in this setting has nothing to do with performance as a Fed member.
 

A personal financial transgression, even an illegal one, prior to holding office does not meet the “for cause” standard.

Trump may be grifting, but some of the most influential people in his circle have a....warped vision of national greatness.  He gets to grift off that warped vision so win-win and same same as ze Germans.

There are absolutely vile racists in this for the torture of others, there are those who are in this cult for the grift and some are there for both. TFG is definitely in it for both. This is still closer to fascist Italy though. Not entirely, but there are more similarities, especially the mob-like mentality.

I noticed today for the first time that Trump kept the top of his discolored and skin damaged right hand covered by his left one during the entirety of his press briefing from Oval.

Things Republicans believed in before Trump:

-States' Rights
-The Constitution
-The Justice System
-Law and Order
-Freedom of Speech
-Rights
-Capitalism
-Limited Government
-Reducing the Debt
-Russia is America's enemy
-Allies should be defended
