^ Thanks, that's an interesting clip. He looked a lot younger then, but the way he stayed so professional under pressure is impressive.

Your edit makes this a pretty funny post Lucem!
I agree that not attending a dinner is hardly a fascist stance, though it does send a pretty negative message; it's like if you boss won't go to the office party at Christmas. Everybody thinks, "What's this guy's problem?"
My recommendation is don't worry about the dinner, but worry about this description of a nation...

Is that Dan Rather's description of Trump's America? No, it's Churchill's description of Germany during Hitler's rise to power.
