Donald Trump IS the American "Il Duce."

@krass it is latin for "the leader, or the boss."

@samueltyler2 but he was known as he who can do no wrong by his people

@krass perhaps, but the actual meaning is derived from Latin and means the leader. I thought there was another term, but i am having a m er trouble finding it, it had something with the wrong rd little in it.

@samueltyler2
"The leader" translates into German as "der Führer."

@samueltyler2

Dictionary.com is wrong.

The word "Führer" goes back to at least mid-19th century Germany as a military title and in Austria in regards to far-right politician and anti-Jewish agitator Georg von Schönerer who, like Hitler later, favored Anschluss with Germany.

Not only did von Schönerer's followers refer to him as "der Führer," but they also used the Roman raised right-handed salute to him.

Von Schönerer had a large influence on a young, aspiring dictator named Adolf Hitler.
