Singer Linda Ronstadt compared President Donald Trump's election to the rise of Nazis in Germany, the AlterNet website reports today (December 31, 2019).
The Grammy-winning singer drew parallels between Adolf Hitler's rise and Trump's gathering of authoritarian power, as part of an interview for CNN Film's documentary, "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice."
Ronstadt said: "Hitler rose to power -- there were a lot of chances to stop him, and they didn't speak out, and the industrial complex thought they could control him once they got him in office, and, of course, he was not controllable."
She added:"You find a common enemy for everybody to hate. I was sure that Trump was going to get elected the day he announced , and I said, 'It's going to be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews' -- and sure enough that's what he delivered, you know?"
