"...the Trump spectacle, unlike the triumph-of-the-will stuff put out by the likes of Josef Goebbels, Albert Speer, Leni Riefenstahl, and indeed Hitler himself, always fails ludicrously.  When Trumpies put on a boat parade, the boats sink.   When Trump tries to give a speech invoking the glories of the American military past, he can't get his parade permits and winds up ranting dementedly about how the Continental Army defeated the RAF by occupying the airports during the Revolution.   The flyover and the North-Korean-style military parade don't even come close to being realized.  The lawsuits, which might invoke Roland Freisler terrifyingly ranting at victims who are about to experience a death worse than death, are a comic spectacle barely able to be parodied on Saturday Night Live. .."
