The difference is Wilson's 14 Points also proposed democracy and self government for even the defeated powers and a vision of a rules based order to preserve peace. We know now it didn't work but even the Germans thought it might.
Trump & Netanyahu offer nothing but exploitation and subservience.

Max Webster   Let Go The Line
Max Webster Let Go The Line YouTube video by Steven Richard

RIP to Max Webster keyboardist Terry Watkinson. Part of the same late 70s scene as Rush but unlike them they had a crossover appeal with the new Punk scene having a combination of being both eccentric with Zappa influences while still being down-to-earth unlike Rush.

RIP to Streetheart guitarist John Hannah. They were never cool but I always liked them, kinda like the Canadian Golden Earing and this was one of the best Stones covers, especially that tasty guitar solo. Reportedly the Stones themselves agreed;

So the Soviet Union used to win truckloads of gold medals all the time and they would constantly brag about it even while their corrupt empire was crumbling from within and everybody hated them. And even they had more class than the Americans.

Wait; So he's saying MAGA are the Nazis in this analogy?
I mean it's possible he may have even meant that but it's more likely he's another dumb guy trying to look smart.
