Thanks for this link to the Charlie Chaplin film. The reference is unmistakable.

People who do not know it, should first see the cartoon by Anne Telnaes, and then watch the video clip.

The wannabe Dictator

It's a Trump show

Ann #Telnaes winning the #Pulitzer prize gives me some hope that not all of the #media have surrendered to #Trump.

For months, I was surprised how the famous US fourth estate was collapsing to the wannabe king. I saw that as a sign of how close the USA is to Hitler around 1937/1938.

But this gives me hope that the collapse is not total yet. That there is #resistance and that there might still be #elections in 2026 that are accessible for all

> Bezos also trekked down to Mar-a-Lago, gifts in hand—just as #Telnaes depicted. In addition to ponying up $1 million for Trump’s inauguration fund, Amazon is also broadcasting the inauguration live on Amazon Prime, an in-kind donation worth another $1 million (BBC, 1/4/25).
