41. Hitler also remodeled the Chancellor's office at the Reichstag and another building to add ballrooms and a conservatory
Thu Oct 23, 2025, 12:05 PM
Thursday

Although the pictures in the MT bluesky post do show compelling similarities, I don't have any pictures of what Hitler's ballrooms looked like, he redesigned the Chancellory and other buildings. So maybe Trump is following Hitler's playbook and Kremlin design because so much of the Third Reich's property was destroyed. Either way, he's cobbling together everything from the examples of other Authoritarians and Fascists.
