Public Comment

It should be obvious to every responsible journalist that anything the Loser of the 2020 election says ought to be fact checked. The number of Trump's documented lies while President exceeds 30,000. By printing the AP story ("Trump claims Ignorance about Hitler comparisons") without doubting Trump's word, the editors lend credence to his claim of ignorance. 

While Trump is undoubtedly ignorant about many things a President ought to know, Hitler's speeches would not be on that list. Vanity Fair magazine reported in September 1990 that ex-wife Ivana Trump told her lawyer that Donald "reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, 'My New Order,' which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed." 

Trump certainly knows he lifted Hitler's vile language into his recent campaign speeches. He was following the example of a master propagandist and genocidal ogre.  

Editors who republish AP stories, need to fact check that source as well.
