Did Ike ever get accused of being a Nazi? Seems his activities 1942-45

Ditto Truman, JFK and Nixon all of whom served in combat. (Well Truman
was a WW1 artilleryman)

Republican Nixon only technically served in Combat but did

But for wartime

No one ever called these men NAZIs except maybe extreme pacifists.

 If it is true that Bush I cut a deal with Iran to not free the
hostages until Reagan was elected, then for "chicanery" we should read
"treason".

I really have no idea about Bush I and Iran but I think
someone did do that deal.

 

Republican Reagan was not a NAZI but he was a tool of the
Monied Interests with his Trickle Down economics which have never
worked for the people at the end of the trickle down stream as it
is too weak when it gets to the bottom to support the recipients
in good health.

Republican Bush I was never accused of Fascist leaning but
his Father was and maybe with some justice.  So was good old Joe
Kennedy. Lots of American elite were Fascist and Isolationists.
It was the mood of the time lea\d by heroic but naive Charles
Lindbergh.

Democrat Clinton played some cool jazz which is assumed

Republican Bush II was never accused of Fascism but he

Democrat Obama of course was convicted of being black

Alleged Republican Trump proved that we could do
much worse than Bush II. He wants the powers of an autocrat
but mainly to avoid prosecution for his many derelictions of
presidential duties and laws governing the President. He
adopted pre-WW II ideas of isolationism and elite fascism.
In the outline by the so-called Christian Dominionists called
2025 these Fascist slugs claims they will institute a Theocracy
ruled by very un-Christian and equally un-American ideas.

The reason presidents are restricted to only two terms
is because the Republicans feared a Democratic-led dictatorship
but of course in the 1930s the monied interests tried to
overthrow Franklin Delano Roosevelt and a retired Marine General
exposed them for their plotting.  1932,1936,1940 & 1944 he was
re-elected for leading the nation through the Depression and of
course for successfully leading the nation during WW II. By the
time the WW II ended he was dead He had been crippled by Polio
years before he became president and while with braces he could
stand he had strong young men around to support him. But being
in charge of a nation and a war left him with few physical
resources and he died in the service of his nation at 63 YOA.
Thank heaven he picked Truman as VP.

 Back in the 80's, my mother (a knee-jerk Republican: mention "Kennedy"
and her right knee would jerk and she'd say "Chappaquiddick") confided
in me that the only reason FDR served four terms was because the Dems
had /suspended the two term limit/ so he could do so. The reality, of
course, is that the two-term limit came later, mostly to prevent a
recurrence of a four-term Presidency.
 As I've said before about the Republican Party: the rot runs deep,
very deep indeed.

Well it started with Rutherford B. Hayes when to get the
electoral votes he needed he made a deal to pull the Federal troops
out of the former Confederate states.
Some Republicans did not get the word and continued to
support emancipation sic Earl Warren in the 1960s and my parents
were Republicans based on the idea that it was the party of
Lincoln but it was merely the front for the Monied Interests.
