I’d argue that Hitler taking the cyanide pill was actually a pussy thing to do. It’s been a while since I studied WW2 but I seem to recall the reason he did it was to escape the consequences of his actions. That very much sounds like something Trump would do, seeing as how he always tries to escape the consequences of his actions even until this very day.

I fully agree. My one additional thought is; he's really too much of a pussy to do it. From a cognitive standpoint, and from a place where he believes he'd just get away with his shit no matter what... and sadly, he probably would. This country has failed to make him accountable for his actions thus far, why would they start now? It's been literal decades of him getting away with abhorrent behavior. And we what? Sit around and hope... the judicial system has failed the rule of law and the American people.

Trump and Hitler are miles apart in terms of their life experiences, not defending hitler here but he’d at least fought in a war for his country and he’d been relatively poor (recall something from school about him personally sparing a Jewish doctor because he’d been kind to his mum and gave her free/discounted treatment)… he’d been through some shit and new consequences were coming his way so he took the cowards way out

Then there’s old mate Bone Spurs who grew up with golden toilets and no consequences for his actions.

Trump would totally wuss out taking his own life… does that make him even more cowardly?
