    It's not a contest. Genghis Khan killed 40 million people. Around 10% of the global population at the time. It actually reduced humanity's carbon footprint by so much that there is a period of global cooling on record associated with it.

    "Genghis Khan & his brother Don could not keep from keeping on" .

    Bob Dylan. (You Ain't Goin' Nowhere).

    One of my party pieces at an open mic night I sing & play at.

    Glad Genghis had no nuclear weapons. He did curtail global warming for a while though by culling the human population. He did kill his brother, but unsurprisingly he wasn't called Don. i think that was artistic license on Mr Zimmerman's part.

    If we’re picturing Trump as a classic Hitler type leader wearing a pompous military uniform, making Mike Lindell Chief Pillow Minister and rearranging Mount Rushmore, then you’re probably right - although this is Trump, and he’s not known for being understated.

    I notice you say ‘some way off’ - but listen to his base. Watch some of the interviews at rally’s. They would have him for forever president tomorrow without a second thought. That’s what makes him a potential dictator.[/QUOTE]

    His popularity amongst his supporters makes him a potential dictator?
    I mean I suppose so in the sense that many billions of things are possible.
    The only real evidence we have is his last term in office. And he didn't really act like a dictator. Largely incompetent and full of bluster for sure. Manipulated and used by those backing him and the republican party? Almost certainly.

    He isn't but you most certainly can reference him to the things he & his followers are to what Hitler & his followers did. As for not killing millions , wait for it, I hope I'm 100% wrong but if Trump loses this election, do you think that will be the end of it?

    I never actually said his popularity made him a dictator. I said his base would willingly have him as such. Spiritual leader, dictator, president? They don’t care, they’re a cult.

    Re his last term in office, he almost didn’t leave, and he put a lot of plans in place to help him stay, not to mention the conservatives he appointed to the Supreme Court (helping slow the wheels of justice now) and those he pardoned when he was leaving. When he lost the election he went into overdrive, fake electors, phone call to raffensberger, intimidating election officials.
