It’s not a swear word.” Mimicking Trump’s voice, Colbert joked: “My dad used to say, ‘You can’t say Hitler, OK? Don’t you dare take his name in vain.’ And he would make me put a quarter – anytime I would – he would make me put a quarter in the ‘Hitler jar’ and when it got filled, he would send it to my uncles in Argentina.” Trump, 78, has continuously denied claims made by former officials of his first term administration that he’s a fascist. In an interview with the New York Times published last week, former chief of staff John Kelly said that Trump “fits the definition of fascism.” Stephen Colbert mocks Donald Trump’s recent remarks revealing the words his father forbade him to say as a child “Looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a far-right authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy,” he said.
