Back in the summer of 2016, we were in America visiting family. We, of course, talked about the upcoming elections and, like any sane person, assumed that Hillary would win. We all know what happened, and back home, I got a spark of inspiration. Over a few weeks, I created many “portraits” of the situation using pictures I took in America and Photoshop.

I’m just a nobody, but for me, it was pretty clear what was going on. I studied history and paid close attention to what happened in Germany between the wars. I had also read several biographies about Trump, which might not tell the whole story, but certainly paint a bright picture.

Back then, many people who should know better took him seriously and maybe questioned him, but not the role he played as president of the most powerful country in the world. I never understood this, and to me, it was clear what kind of person he was. I don’t say he would do what the Nazis did, but I do say that if he had lived in Germany back then, he would definitely have built the concentration camps with “Arbeit macht frei” in neon letters, with an even larger sign on top of it bearing his name.

Sadly, after ten years, we see that he is actually moving closer to becoming a full-blown sadist, much like a typical Nazi who partied just a stone’s throw away from the ovens. And the people are gleefully arresting the hated aliens, smiling behind a mask, while most Americans remain silent, praying to God to protect their savior. All the disbelievers start to realize that the path he’s paving for many of his critics leads straight to Auschwitz, and it doesn’t matter if we might never get there or how you call your concentration camp, enough people with official titles are planning it, and more than enough are willing to look the other way.

Below, you can see what I created and, in a sense, predicted in 2016.

This is a picture I took when we drove into Utah. I got the distinctive feeling that a lot of Americans are not so into the “you”-tah, so I changed the sign into Me-tah. Selfish as they sometimes are, like good Christians.

If you look closely to the right side, you see a “Lady Justice” standing under a dilapidated roof with a sign that reads: “Dirty broke, hungry ☹Anything helps, God bless U 😊”. Justice seemed to be a joke from then on, in my opinion, and she agreed.

This picture of some kind of old circuit board was taken in a museum. If you look closely, you can read that it is the “Trump Electronics mark II.” If you look even closer, you can see where the Twitter generator is, along with where the lies are made, and the input for applause. There is even a hair adjustment pod and much more. This symbolizes how a world leader can be wired and how you can compare them this way with other wiring diagrams; it is not magic, just follow the wires, people are pretty simple beings to predict.

Here, I used a famous photo of Göring and superimposed the orange clown over it. Göring was on trial here in Nuremberg. If you don’t know where that is and why he was there, then you are part of the problem.

This was a phone picture from some nice weed fields. The warning sticker on the window of our rental car was maybe hard to read for some, but if you ever looked at the world from outside your own narrow point of view, you know what is written on that sticker.

Arriving in Utah, we had to see the dried-up lake with its leftover salt flats. Back home, safely in Norway, I couldn’t help turning the sign into a dried-up lake of good ideas. Underneath, you can read: “Erected by the department of the American mind, June 1972.”

This picture was taken in a museum. There were two boxes, and I put a sticker on the closed one reading: “study books, to be burned,” and in the other, a famous Nazi pamphlet where you see a knife going through a book with words saying: “this is the enemy.” Even though that was not hard to predict, it is still strange that they actually do it in some states. The country that inundated our culture with cheap knockoffs bans what it needs the most, IMHO.

Even in America, they promote reading in some places. I changed some titles on the books, and I challenge you to find them.

This one speaks for itself.

They already started boarding up the windows in 2016.

This was from an exhibition of dictators. By now, we all recognize his hairdo. Originally, these were posters featuring clothing models, much the same.
