"The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their families." -- Donald Trump.

Trump, as has been widely noted, does not care about facts or accuracy. He has total contempt for facts and for reality in general, and many of his followers share in this attitude. How can he deport 12 million Latinos? How can he force Mexico to build and pay for a wall? How can the figures in his demagogic budget plan add up? The answer is always that mere reality will always yield to the ruthless exercise of Trump’s Triumph of the Will — meaning his dynamism, the force of his personality, his determination, his bold courage, and so forth. This is of course an exercise in the pathology of magical thinking, which assigns supernatural powers to the fascist hotelier. Hitler’s Triumph of the Will method actually seemed to work during the conquests of Poland, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, and France, when his victims were intimidated by Nazi propaganda and penetrated by pro-Nazi fifth columns. But in the hard reality of the Russian campaign, something went wrong with the Triumph of the Will. Geography, economics, demographics, and other very objective and reality-based factors asserted themselves, and radical-subjective voluntarism was useless.

Trump views China, Mexico, and Japan as enemy states. He accuses them of duping and hoodwinking the United States, especially on trade deals. He is also hostile to Iran, which has been the main beneficiary of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. Trump boasts that he wanted to steal Iraq’s oil, but leaves the details of how this could be accomplished to another Triumph of the Will.

How then, according to Trump, are America’s adversaries so successful? Why is America no longer great? His usual answer is that US leaders have been incredibly stupid. It will be seen that this is very vague. Most of Trump’s followers probably think this means that Trump will run everything personally, and that every aspect of the US government will benefit from the inevitable Triumph of the Will.

The stupidity of government officials is comparable to some of Hitler’s themes. Hitler targeted the entire bourgeoisie as cowardly, senile, intellectually rotten morons. This is more emphatic than Trump, but not very different.

Webster Tarpley -- Trump is a fascist and all of the scoundrels will orient themselves to him like iron filings to a magnet.
