Sure, they both have used fear-mongering, pandered to the uneducated and used bigotry to fuel a fiercely nationalistic message. But Hitler was clever, calculating and had great foresight for his goals. He surrounded himself with intelligent people that knew how to use propaganda to manipulate the masses like Goebbels, and he had a highly structured machine of a political party. Trump is a blowhard that spews out every thought his brain comes up with no matter how valid or truthful it is and is constantly having to walk back whatever came out of his talkey-hole the previous day. His whole campaign staff is a sloppy mess that can barely garner donations. And on top of that, Trump surrounds himself with the likes of Paul Mannafort and borderline Down Syndrome sufferer Katrina Pierson.
Trump may lazily channel some of the same ideas that Hitler proposed, but beyond that, there is no comparison
True. There are similarities on the surface, but I don't think Trump is smart enough to pull off a Hitler. Even though Hitler was a terrible person, he was one of the most talented speakers in recent history. Trump just babbles.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
