• The Malicious Practices Act (1933):
This law made it a crime to speak out or "make fun" of the
government and its leaders. This meant that even telling a joke
about Hitler could be considered a malicious attack on the
state.
• The Treachery Act (1934): This expanded on the 1933 law by
criminalizing any remarks that caused "severe damage" to the
welfare or reputation of the Third Reich or the Nazi Party.
What's notably different here is that Trump isn't using legal
means, but financial threats. He won't approve your merger.
He'll sue you personally. He'll start a DOJ investigation that
will cost you a lot of money. Same effect.
