Outrageous comments from best friend:s DP

I'm shocked and don't know what to say.
My friend of thirty plus years moved in with a new partner last year.
She had few options due to three divorces and very few savings.
I've met the chap once, he seemed OK but over handy for my liking. Both her adult daughters have said they don't like him. I thought it was an age and class thing (he's 27 years younger).
It turns out he is an admirer of Hitler and Trump.
I said to my friend well he won't be invited to dinner here. He apparently made the statements at a family party last week. The daughters quite rightly walked out. I'm disabled, my husband not white. My uncles POW. I can't believe she's with him. She was very lonely. Aibu to be shocked or none of my business?

What?

I agree that Hitler was more cultured and intelligent than Trump, but they’re both evil bastards who put no value on the lives of those who aren’t their idea of acceptable.

As we’re showing dogs, here’s mine but, full disclosure, she can’t drive.

Come back when you’ve taught her please.

Sorry, I have NO idea where the dog came from, and if I go into 'edit' it's not there so I can't remove it.

Not the impression I was trying to create.

Oh that made me laugh today, thank you.

Two of my uncles were released from POW camps weighing six and a half stone. Neither could later have children..
Neither held it against the German people. My friend knows this. Her family didn't serve.
I don't want to socialise with him. I think I'll just use a broken record regarding him and hope he keeps out of my orbit.

If it were just Trump then YABU but Hitler? YANBU
Even if he’s not to your taste, Trump and Hitler are in different leagues. I think it’s actually insulting to all those murdered in WW2 to compare Trump to Hitler. It trivialises what happened to them - Hitler was pure evil

Oh do give over, it’s but a few days ago that Trump was openly plotting to displace millions of people.

Tutorpuzzle · 06/03/2025 19:55

I’m sorry OP, you asked a perfectly reasonable question (my answer is he’s a nutter, but don’t lose contact with friend, or her daughters), but all those driving dogs that have hijacked your thread have given me the biggest laugh. So, thank you for that, I needed it!

@wrongthinker the Hitler comments were about world domination and supreme power. Lesser beings. Trump, no idea.

Nobody admits to liking Hitler and going on about this shite unless they are deliberately trying to be controversial for the kicks

More dogs please

@GeorgiesCat she's very sex driven. He's the Don apparently.

She met him on a website.

Is he aye?

Why are you not believing this? You need to meet my mum's husband. There are more of them around than you think.

wrongthinker · 06/03/2025 19:46

What were the actual outrageous comments? Did he just say, "by the way I like Hitler"? And then later on, he was like, "That Trump's a good 'un."?

Need a bit more detail please OP.

GeorgiesCat · 06/03/2025 19:45

Why cant she be single?

IchiNiSanShiGo · 06/03/2025 19:45

Can I vote YABU because there’s just not enough dogs on this thread? 🤣

In all seriousness though, it sounds like he’s a controlling gold digger and she needs her eyes opening to that. Can you make an effort to try and meet up with her alone, will
she listen if you voice concerns?
