The cover of the next Stern, a German news magazine.

The title Sein Kampf (transl. his struggle) is a play on the title of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf (transl. my struggle).

The full translation of the cover would be

HIS STRUGGLE

How Donald Trump is stirring up hatred in America

When Germans call you a Nazi….

I see so much commentary in the tags about how Trump can’t be a Nazi because he’s pro-Israel, and I’m sitting here like, guys. Children. Nazi doesn’t mean “kills Jews.” That was the horrible outcome. The ideology itself was putting one’s own nation above all else (ring a bell?) while undermining democratic values (RING A BELL?) and being blatantly racist (RING A… you know what, forget it, you’re not listening to me anyway). 

Instead of anti-communism you now have fierce pro-capitalism and instead of Jewish people being called animals you now have immigrants facing the same hatred. You already have the denunciations and people walking from door to door trying to root out “illegals.”

Current US politics may not involve any gas chambers, but Hitler didn’t burst on the political scene with “Let’s kill all the Jews!” either. If you honestly think US policies won’t escalate further, especially if Trump gets a second term, you’re standing chin-deep in denial.

As Jewish people have consistently pointed out: Trump also DOES surround himself with a lot of prominent antisemites. 

Which is consistent with his support of the state of Israel because supporting antisemitism and supporting Israel are compatible. If you want your own country to not have any Jewish people without having to plan all the messy ‘genocide’ stuff, it’s useful to have a country to push them towards. (a country which conveniently makes a good military base for US imperialism). No surprise there.

If anyone thinks all this shit isn’t going to also harm Jewish Americans, they’re either fooling themselves or is deliberately ignoring antisemitism.
