No he wasn't. Hitler constantly told other countries one thing only to fuck them over later. Trump is stupidly trying to hypocritically use Bush's telegraphing Afghanistan which allowed Bin Laden to get away, but yet running for the same party. Look at his own business failings and scams. Even Sam points that out in the video. I agree, Trump is an unknown, but that still does not make Hitler predictable.
The similarities are not in the governments, but the personalities. Both play off of fear and offer a populist message and delusional hyper nationalism.
