This is sickening, but looking away won't help

After the planes had soared and the generals did their spit and polish thing, Donald Trump ended his Me-a-thon on the mall on Independence Day with yet another trite ghost-written line:

... we are Americans and the future belongs to us.

The Erudite Partner and I had to same thought: somebody has mis-remembered the film Caberet. At least we hope the echo is more accidental than intentional.
The reporter from the Hollywood Reporter heard similar echoes.

After all, our two-bit Mussolini does have his concentration camps ... even if he's just a vain old man looking a little silly in the rain.
