I'm surprised to read about the Armenian Genocide in the context of Trumps speech, because it was Hitler asking his generals a week before WW2: "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler%27s_Obersalzberg_Speech
The vibe, the attitude is the same, showing lawlessness is key, wanting to pledge the generals to illegal and in the end genocidal conduct.
