Historian: Trump's recent words are indistinguishable from Nazi rhetoric

As a historian who has written about the Holocaust, I'll say bluntly: This is indistinguishable from the Nazi rhetoric that led to Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ, Romani and others being exterminated. This is America 2020. This is where the GOP has taken us.

that 'Make America great again' really meant make America like Nazi Germany near a century ago?

I'm sure that when the Ferryman rows Trump across the Styx - may it be soon - Donald and Adolf, and a few others, will have a lot of things to compare.

Trump: I killed 200,000 Americans! Who can beat that?'
Adolf - puts his hand up.
Trump: I've destroyed Nations! Who can beat that?'
This time, a number of hands go up.
