Sorry, I do not click on sites known to promote Nazis.
I’d be happy to respond if you post a link to a site that doesn’t promote Nazis or if you take the time to explain your point.
Which I’m sure is incorrect.

Honest posts with honest opinions will be quoted accurately. Snark, poop thrown against the wall and insults will be treated accordingly.
You folks control how it goes; be civil and receive civil in return. It’s really that easy.

That a group of historians came to that conclusion is a fact. That Nazis don't think he is the worst is also a fact.
The shade of his bronzer is subjective. Hope this helps.

Let's see if we can fix that for them. How about "Trump is the GREATEST POS of all time!"? Just a minor tweak.
Actually, it's a bit premature to make that statement. He hasn't got there yet, but he does seem to be trying. He hasn't taken all of the world down his dark hole yet. There are still glimmers of hope. And if it wasn't for the support of his minions, he'd have stayed just another reality TV star, where he belongs.
You can like his "policies", if you give him the benefit of the doubt and think he actually cares about anything other than himself, his bank account and the number of people talking about him, but what good are those policies in the world of hatred, greed, corruption and intolerance that he leads the way into? Character does matter.
He does seem to have mastered marketing, I'll give him that. He knows he can get away with anything among his supporters, and sets out to prove it. But that does not a great President make.

I wonder: if Trump decided to wage actual military war on all of NATO, would it be a fair or unfair fight? Yes, I know this is a chicken little doomsday scenario that has about a 0.00001% chance of happening, but from a purely military POV, could the U.S. take on the combined forces of all NATO countries, either with conventional weapons alone or with nukes?

Nukes? Yes. We could pretty much wipe out everyone.
Conventional? Less clear. We'd have to get our stuff and troops over there. Only one invasion was launched from US shores, and that was Operation Torch (North Africa). I'm not counting Panama or Grenada. NATO has enough power to seriously affect a similar operation, or even stop it. Losses would be too high.

But NATO has plenty of nukes too. Does the total really matter after a certain large number? Of course, a first strike that eliminated an enemy's arsenal would ensure "victory". As would systems to intercept and nullify any nukes in flight before they hit.

Sure. We have more, but it is unrealistic to expect they wouldn't be able to launch some at us.
Of course, this is academic. The convict may not like NATO, but I doubt he would attack them. Nor would Congress likely approve such action.
