Trump Compares FBI’s Mar-A-Lago Search To Gestapo

Posted today to Trump’s Truth Social account:

Many of the so-called “documents” that the “Gestapo” took in the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, unlike the”No Raids of Biden,” were merely inexpensive and very common folders with words such as “Presidential Reading,” “Confidential,” “Classified,” or other words stamped on the front cover. There was nothing inside of the folders because, during meetings where information was passed out, say at the Oval Office, when finished the papers inside were taken back, but the empty folders were left behind.

A number of right-wing officials are comparing the FBI’s executed warrant on Trump’s home to police tactics in Nazi Germany. Let’s be clear: it’s never appropriate to make such comparisons to the Holocaust–doing so demeans the memory of six million murdered Jews. This must stop. https://t.co/GE5OHUnOgo

In court documents Oath Keepers testify that Trump intention was to invoke the Insurrection Act & somehow through it, create a ‘federal militia’ out of the Oath Keepers to become a private army loyal only to Trump

Notorious for their brutal methods of torture, the Gestapo was one of the main perpetrators of the Holocaust. Trump compares the FBI to it. pic.twitter.com/pHgjIR5uUF
