Thanks for linking to my post.
The post about Melania Trump’s photography is interesting – and Melania is a pretty good photographer. And though I usually reject the Trump = Hitler comparisons, since it’s possible to be an awful politician without being Hitler, I can’t help but note that Eva Braun was an enthusiastic photographer and amateur filmmaker as well. Though unlike Melania, Eva Braun took plenty of photos of herself with Hitler.
