Lenient judges failed Germany:

"Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released."

Plus Argentina. Just bailed out T's far-right President buddy by providing them 20 billion. A favor to Bessent and his buddies. Argentina has universal healthcare, by the way.

That's the problem. He is being played like a puppet by the most dangerous and self-serving criminals and circles ruthlessly pursuing their own interests at the expense of We the People! And the orange wrecking ball is neither interested in nor able to grasp any even vaguely complex connections.
