This week’s blog is a critique about a blog that was done by Political Blogger Anne Coulter. The article is called Springtime of Pundits. Ann Coulter has a degree from Cornell University. She also has two degrees from the University of Michigan. Her second degree from the University of Michigan is Law degree. She is a writer, teacher, columnist, and a lawyer. She calls herself a social conservative.
                  Her audience is anyone who listens but majority is social conservatives. Her credibility definitely outweighs my academic credentials currently. She makes a lot of good arguments throughout her blog. She makes some very spot on comparisons and contrast.
                  She starts how with people need to wake up and hurry and increase their level of knowledge in history.  She gives a lists of statements in her comparison with how much Donald Trump has in common with Adolf Hitler.
                  First she compares how they both inspire the masses with speeches. She talks about their immigration views. She talks about the type of wife that they are married to. I mean the lists goes on and on.  She concludes her blog with her stating that she is very very afraid.
                  I do agree with some of her arguments about Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. They both are eerily similar in more ways than one.  They both have the same views on how you should deal with immigrants. They both wanted to use walls and get people who they deemed foreign out of their countries. They do have the same polarizing effect on the masses.  They both have similar test in woman.
                  I do not feel that this makes him the next Hitler. He very well could be, though. I am not discounted anything that he has said or done since he has been on his political trail. He has offended millions and people and it continues to do so.  The crazy thing is that the more people that he offends, the more followers that he seems to gain. He does not fear reprisal for anything that he does.
                  The evidence that she uses is the thing that Donald Trump has done or said and she placed it context. I do that Donald Trump is definitely a racist towards anyone who is not white but he is also racist with whites too. It all depends on their social and economic class that they are in. In order to fit into Donald Trumps’ world you have to fall into his criteria. Based on the issues alone, it looks like Ann Coulter has definitely looked at all aspects of Donald Trump.
                  It is really hard to say whether or not if she is right or wrong about Donald Trump as of right now. He has not ever held any political office. That could be proven a positive thing or an extreme detriment to our country. I think if her blog’s only purpose was to gain people’s attention and to get them to think then she did an outstanding job. However, if her purpose was to use the facts that she has listed as concrete evidence that he’s Hitler, she’s missed the mark. Almost all of the comparisons can be seen as complete isolated coincidences. There is no one to know if Donald Trump is really trying to be the Adolf Hitler of tis generation. We need more in depth analysis of every aspect of his life to make that distinction.            
                  In conclusion, she did make me question Donald Trump a little bit more though. I do not agree with her conclusion as of right now because I simply need to see or hear irrefutable evidence showing this.  Overall I give this Blog an A-.
