1. So he really is...

following Hitler's plan. Right down to the photo ops.

Frightening!

[US4u2]

2. The man who destroyed Germany and the man destroying America, what a pair.

[oasis]

3. Billboard worthy.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. No. It's a FAKE. Photoshopped. Manipulated. Trash. Let's drop it pronto

[BComplex]

32. It is obviously photoshopped. I can't believe this is going around as a real thing.

Look at the cuff on the hand holding the bible. Identical. Not even possible.

[crickets]

34. Good catch. Thanks, Bernardo. nt

[mnhtnbb]

4. Makes you think that Stephen Miller

may have directed the photo op. Trump is too ignorant to have known about it, and I'm skeptical it's a coincidence.

[AlexSFCA]

12. trump's been into hitler long before miller time

[usaf-vet]

19. EXACTLY! Someone else is calling plays. The lunatic in chief can barely remember his scripted parts!

Hopefully, for history's sake, I hope someone in our intelligence services is listening in on Trump's communications with Putin and his other handlers.

[JudyM]

31. The earlier photo was photoshopped after trump posed.

[spanone]

5. It's the perfect look for don trump

[Arazi]

6. Iirc, the Hitler picture is photoshopped but yeah, definitely has similarities

[TheRickles]

21. A link would be nice

Zooming in on the image reveals no obvious discrepancies. The photo is equally granular throughout, with no anomalous straight lines or glaring oddities. Forensic photography isn't my area of expertise (to put it mildly), but this photo seems legit. Some evidence for the assertion of photoshopping would be much appreciated. Thanks.

29. See post 27 above. nt

7. There can no longer be any doubt

The man is modeling his persona after absolute evil.

[Eyeball_Kid]

30. Trumpy-boy has no legitimacy after his term expires. He'll be sued for billions.

And he'll be prosecuted for multiple felonies. He will fail at his businesses, and because his criminality is now fully exposed, he'll have no legitimate way to make money. No one will loan him any more money, except criminal oligarchs who want more than Trump is worth in return, and we all know it. His name on hotel buildings will hold NEGATIVE value.

He's finished.

All he can do now is turn the world upside down to stay in office, and that prospect looks bleaker by the day. His family and hangers-on can only create a phony bubble of prosperity around him, but that bubble will burst as soon as he loses re-election. So he MUST assume the powers of a dictator to survive, and he WILL.

8. Hitler was a good Christian.

Catholic, I believe? Maybe Episcopalian?

Especially when he wanted to show off his credentials to all his followers.

[LuvNewcastle]

15. He was raised Catholic.

He considered going into the priesthood when he was young.

[Auggie]

9. "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

[ResistantAmerican17]

10. Settling once and for all---that Christianity is a prop for Dotard.

But sadly the faux evangelicals will gobble it down like cult koolaid.

[keithbvadu2]

11. Religion and politics use each other to gain power and wealth.

[ResistantAmerican17]

17. Always have......always will

[jaxexpat]

18. Alas, evangelicals remain a fickle lot.

Their fervor is proportional to their rewards of grace, which they must experience frequently to maintain their zealousness. The thrill from the inhabitation by the holy spirit is similar to the thrill of riot.

Science has observed that the lab rat will, when given a choice, consume the cocaine and reject the food before him. Even if it kills him. But when the cocaine is gone the rat will eat food like any other rat. After all, a hungry rat is a hungry rat. (though maybe a bit strung out)

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. Wow, just WOW!!

[AlexSFCA]

14. dog whistle or bull horn

[chia]

16. Appreciate the general comparison but the Hitler photo is photoshopped

?s=20

[Johnny2X2X]

20. Shouldn't be hard to find a real one

Hitler quoted the bible every chance he got, he was more of a religious nut that Trump by far.

[TheRickles]

22. Thank you. This answers my request for backup info on the photoshop claim. n/t

[chia]

23. You're welcome, just don't want to see us taken in by fake photos and have the other side be able to

claim we're pushing fake news. Any time I see a photo like that I try to find out if it's actually real, what they can do with photo technology these days is scary. Sometimes I'll get the info from a trusted source, sometimes from snopes and sometimes doing a reverse image search turns up the original image.

[Pantagruel]

24. Some photoshops

speak to truth:

[chia]

25. Your example can clearly be understood as photoshop with a message, but the other one can't,

and people can and will assume the other one is historically genuine.

I really like your image though, it has a clearly understood point connecting Trump's showman past with his admiration of dictators and lust for authoritarian power. It packs a good punch.

28. THAT'S A DOCTORED PHOTO--THOSE ARE TRUMP'S THUMBS--IT'S FUNNY THOUGH.

[Bucky]

33. There's a difference. Hitler was all about Mein Kampf

Trump is causing everybody else's kampf

[bigtree]

35. sorry folks, doctored pic

...happens.
