I remember when some old remnants from George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party were infiltrating the reborn “America First” party back in the 2000s.
I listened to all of Trump’s speech.
I did not agree 100%, but it was well along at 95% and felt it was a good, all-American speech that laid out a general philosophy and policy for his presidency.
If he will do what he said in that speech about putting American interests first, about improving our military, improving the health care of our veterans, ensuring that our allies know that we will support them, expecting those whom we defend to share in that expense, making clear that our adversaries know that America is going to put its interests first and face down those adversaries, and then addressing ISIS and taking them down...then he will have turned American foreign policy back to where it should be.
To where it should always have been.
No one remembers that far back—Its a new term to 99% of Americans and it says the right things. America must be first in our hearts and minds. Putin thinks Russia First—we need to have love and stock in our nation. We can not be the Policemen of the world.
The closest Trump got to anything Nazi was where he was talking about pulling troops out of Germany or have them pony up. Same with Japan & South Korea.
He pointed out we are still thinking COLD WAR and that is long gone. We are over extended and flat broke.
I’m telling you, Rush is starting to tick me off. To imply anything Trump said in that speech has being about Nazi’s is a huge stretch.
Grasping at straws....
Well, I thought I’d give Rush a try today. I am a 24/7 member, but stopped listening when he was gushing for Rubio, failing to mention Murdoch’s support of Rubio, the open-borders group, etc.
I spent the afternoon cleaning the cottage to open up, so there was no computer, etc.
Well, between him connecting Trump’s America first theme to nazi Germany and his scoffing response to a union caller who said Trump was going to bring in the regular down-to-earth union members, I was ticked all over again.
I feel badly if Rush’s wife is sick, but he’s just gotten so strange lately. Can you imagine what he’d be saying if it was Crooze in the lead, and Trump pulling the stuff Crooze is pulling?
We all know exactly what Trump means - America’s interests are the first consideration. That happens to include bombing the hell out of ISIS (current nazis).
The Nazi comparisons will never die. They are ever trotted out now almost a century later as the bogeyman when all else fails.
Yes, America first, today and tomorrow.
Does he even know what “America first” means in terms of its historical context in World War II?
We all know words can have meaning changes. Does gay mean what it did pre WWII?
Get a grip and learn to read Shaz. Rush wasn’t equating Trump with Nazi lovers, he was telling you about the elites—the GOPe and the media shills— who are trying to go take a wild spin route to tie Trump to some non-interventionists-on-the-global-stage from nearly 80 years ago.
Thought the same thing. What is up with Rush? He has to be in league with the NR crowd or something.
Omg, no he didn’t. Rush calling Trump a Nazi.
Rush, when the libs all agree with you and constitutional conservatives don’t, you’re doing something wrong.
Rush’s wife is sick?
The Nazi comparisons will never die. They are ever trotted out now almost a century later as the bogeyman when all else fails.
Yes, America first, today and tomorrow.

The ones doing the smear will be the neocons like Bill Kristol. While we’re at it, here’s an interesting factoid: JFK contributed money to the old America Firsters, and Gerald Ford was a member, as was Walt Disney. The neocons hate the term because neocons are globalists first, not Americans first. They will dredge up the old group only as a smear tactic.
Another factoid: The group dissolved within three days of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
I just googled it and found an enquirer article where he wanted to dump her but she is suffering a very serious illness where she had to have her ovaries removed and she is wasting away. And he will stay with her through it all. Sad for his wife. I hope he didn’t want to dump her but maybe he just wanted a trophy wife to do his bidding and now the tables are turned. Hope not.
Rush, your a globalist, always have been, so go with the people that support your $$$ and pay your $$$ and shut up!!!
What’s the difference between doing something because it’s in our national interest and putting America first?
Answer: nothing
America First is old line Republicanism. Old line Republicans opposed going to war and Roosevelt’s efforts deemed promoting a war.
They were said to be pro Germany when they were not
My bottom line view is that you listened but did not hear. Rush was absolutely correct but not anti Trump
The theme was popular and can be viewed in the movies In Harm’s Way and the Winds of War Series
Good news
