President Donald Trump plans to pull about 20,000 U.S. troops from Europe, according to a leading Italian news agency.
A European diplomatic source told ANSA that Trump, who entered office on Monday for a second term, wants to reduce the American contingent in Europe by about 20 percent and plans to ask for a “financial contribution” for the maintenance of the remaining troops.
As a modern-day German, I can confidently say that the thought of Hitler being comical per se has never crossed my mind. You can, however, take elements from his style and exaggerate them to make them become comedic, but that’s not Hitler, that’s Chaplin.
As a modern-day comparison and for someone who took a lot of cues from Hitler’s rhetoric and style: I wouldn’t say Trump that is comedic either, even though a lot of things about him are completely ridiculous.
I haven’t read the book but yeah, it’s not supposed to be good or particularly entertaining. Repetitiveness, contradictiveness, and incoherence are not the hallmarks of comedy though.
