    Note that Hitler actually served in the trenches of WW1 as a corporal. Didn’t claim he had “bone spurs” to get out of military service unlike SOMEONE ELSE.

      He was awarded the Iron Cross twice (Second Class once, then First Class). This was an honor seldom given to corporals. He was a messenger, and was said by his comrades to be weird, aloof, puritanical but fearless. Unlike Trump, at least he had one ball.

        Oh I don’t know… Trump has balls. Just intermittently… on his face… smelling of vodka and shchi.

      I was told it’s not impossible that Hitler and Tolkien were in opposite trenches in ww1. I want that to be true, so I haven’t left checked it.

        They were both at Somme in 1916. Hard to say if they shot at each other but its a likely possibility they were close to one another at one point in time in history.

          Ide like to visit the timeline where Tolkien Headshots Hitler in the trenches.

          Just to see what would have been different(I likely wouldn’t exist but I think that would be okay)

      When in certain aspects you’re worse than Hitler…

      One can only assume how many other aspects of Hitler he can surpass too

        Well, we’ve seen Trump’s shitty attempts at doodles, and Hitler’s mediocre art. Adi wins that contest too.

        And let’s not forget that Hitler killed Hitler. That did the world a favor. I don’t see Trump doing the equivalent.
