Donald Trump comes under fire for unknowingly tweeting a Benito Mussolini quote, and he may have more in common with the fascism founder than he realizes.

Yeah, I watched that live webcast from Michigan this afternoon. It actually was like a cross between a trash reality show and a Mussolini rally.
Doesn't anyone do research?
"Better to live one day as a lion..." was a Roman proverb. Both as verbatim and in paraphrase, there have been numerous historical repetitions, over the centuries.
The media -- both mainstream and alternative -- have jumped all over Trump's tweeting of "Mussolini's quote," as though Mussolini had originated it. Far be it for them to do any fact-checking.
It was a brazen smear, as was the headline.

Bit of a coincidence that much of the Trump hyperbole re: "Make America Great Again" seems to dovetail quite well with multipolar geopolitics. Whilst paranoid conspiracy theorists on the "anti" side busy their minds with the prospect of being slung into FEMA camps, doubtless some of them are turning their attention to the central pillar of the Trump schtick: THE WALL...
"And who will pay for it????"
"MEXICO!!!!!!"
"Who???"
"MEXICO!!!!!!"
and whether the purpose of THE WALL is to keep Mexicans out or to keep Americans in.

Hillary's Scary New Cash Tax
Negative interest rates turn your “normal” bank account upside down.
Negative interest rates could only exist in a crazy world where idiot politicians are in control.
Unfortunately, that’s just what we’re dealing with right now.
Politicians all over the world are ordering banks to charge depositors (you) a fee for storing cash.
It’s a perversion of saving. It’s a perversion of capitalism. It’s a perversion of planning for the future.
And it’s going to result in disaster.
Politicians think that by making it unattractive for you to keep money in the bank, you’ll save less money. Instead, you’ll spend more money on things like smartphones and cars. You’ll invest in things like stocks and real estate.
This would “stimulate” the economy.
This thinking is very, very wrong. No matter what the government does, it can’t force you to spend money. It can’t force you to make investments if you don’t see good opportunities.
