Godwin’s law states that if an online discussion (regardless of topic) grows long enough, sooner or later someone/something will be compared to Hitler. But recently, I’ve been noticing people making comparisons to Trump (or Trump supporters) instead. For instance:
[I state that most people like Lexus’ new styling] “A lot of people voted for Trump...does that make them right?”
[I ask how people could be dumb enough to fall for Craigslist scams] “People were dumb enough to vote for Trump!”
So I hereby officially declare Marshknute’s Law: “As an internet discussion (regardless of topic) grows longer, sooner or later someone/something will be compared to Trump before (or instead of) being compared to Hitler.
Also, the Predator grille looks awesome and you’re a lying Trump if you say otherwise.

We had Berlusconi comparisons long before this particular philandering game show host decided to run for office.

Yup, although “Knute’s law” is easier to say.

Oh forget it why not compare both in the same sentence.

Might be difficult. Twitter only allows 140 characters!

I don’t use twitter anyway. I don’t think the donald has the attention span to read more than 140 characters at a time anyway.

Your just a Nazi trying to take the spotlight off Hitler!

Plate it or cast it in gold and I could see Trumpy behind the wheel of a brash Predator grille.

You know, relatively speaking, Hitler was a pretty charming guy compared to Trump.
That said, Trump is a current event, so relating him to other current events is topical.

Putin, Trump and Berlusconi are just pissed at Hillary for killing their buddy Gaddafi. No more bunga bunga parties.

Trump literally godwin’d himself in one of his last tweets, so it’s an entirely apt comparison.

I think it’s more like Marshknute’s corollary to Godwin’s law.

I teach the 6th grade. “You’re Donald Trump” is the ultimate putdown.

But that was Italy. They’ve had longer to practice.
