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?

Bad Cat Wtf GIF

Well at 20:12 MN hid my link to a Vanity Fair article from 1990 where Ivana stated that Donald keeps a collection of Hitler's speeches by his bed.
But at least I can still post driving cats

Trump is not anywhere near in the same league as Hitler and those who say he is just make themselves look silly.

If you'd lived in 1930s Germany, who do you think you would have been? Someone risking themselves to stand up against Hitler, or one of the many, many seemingly "normal" people saying "Oh he's not as bad as all that, you're being silly."

In what way are Zelenskyy and Hitler alike??

In whatever way the Koolaid says they are.

What was the reaction when he came out with his comments at that party @Lucelady ?

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.

Sorry but this is hilarious and it’s made my dull night! Thank you for your fab mistake 😁

My father was in WW2. I am 65. It's quite possible for the OP to have had 2 uncles of that age.

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

Trump is also pure evil. Fortunately to date it hadn't manifested in the same way.

But today he is revoking the right to refuse in the US for 240,000 Ukrainians.

He has cancelled healthcare and vital research funding. That's on the path to evil too.

Hopefully he will be stopped earlier than Hitler was. But he won't if apologists like you get their way!

I believe people’s partners are a reflection of them. If my friend was with a person who admired Drumpf and HITLER!

I would assume she does too and act accordingly.

What does revoking to the right to refuse mean?

What? No amount of you slagging me off saying I would’ve gone along with Hitler will make you convince me Trump is anywhere near as evil as him. He gassed millions of Jews ffs and you are insulting their memory by saying fucking Trump is as bad as him. Now show me more dogs…

Nor as silly and frankly bloody stupid as those who support Trump.

Definitely! I see a lot of other people thought it was a bizarre comment as well,

Hitler and Zelensky are Dictators.
Trump is a leader who wants peace and what's best for his people.

Trump neither wants peace nor what is best for his people if you mean citizens of the USA. I do hope again that you are some American MAGA brainwashed idiot rather than a UK citizen.
