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
Huh? "Truly dangerous".........
Ok, when you have not just dems going "What the fuck" but 50 GOP former agents saying "What the fuck?" And you even have A Shark Tank host saying "What the fuck".

That is not the point. You first off admitted he did "channel" and I agree he did. The problem is Trump isn't some no name who doesn't influence people. He isn't the mentally ill guy on the street corner everyone walks by who screams they are Napoleon.
If you agree he is "channeling" and I do too, the same ideas, how the fuck does that make him harmless? It isn't that Trump even wants to be a despot, I simply think he spent his life being told "a loser is a loser" and anything less made a looser unworthy. He mimics the same cheap "tough guy" act because it works, just like it did for Hitler.
