PBS is showing "Rise of the Nazis". I wanted to watch the show in order to see if there were any parallels between Hitler's time in office and Donald Trump's time in office. Within the first minute of the show there were multiple parallels between Hitler's time in office and Trump's time in office. According to the show, Hitler did not like reading/getting briefings and Hitler did not like listening to experts.

(58,436 posts)so yeah, Hitler's rise in the 1920s/30s has many parallels to what Trump and Repubs have been doing.

Rise of the Nazis is fine, it just feels like it is covering mostly old ground that's been covered thoroughly already.

Trump is a buffoon, thankfully. Trump uses opportunity to progress his agenda in a shortsighted way. He is stupid, and doesn't understand who or what he is.
