Trump has pretty much destroyed the essence of this country with his lies and treasonous acts, then wants to call the true Patriots, liars and traitors. He is a disgusting, despicable excuse of a man.

If he were put forth as a villain in a movie, he'd be rejected for being too over the top evil.

(115,673 posts)Trump could out-evil Hitler. Hitler gets the prize for being the most accomplished evil-doer, at least in modern history, but Trump is such a weapons-grade sociopath that I have to wonder whether he would do even worse things if he had the chance.

(2,254 posts)He is a vindictive, vengeful son of**** and the thought of what he would like to do, is scarey. But Hitler was an excellent orator, with a talent for persuasive oratory. He pretty much had the entire German population brainwashed, where Trump hasn't achieved that level of success.
Still, if Trump regained the White House and was able to fill all the strategic positions with his minions, he could do a lot of damage IMO. I personally don't want to see how far he would go.

(11,730 posts)Hitler certainly had the advantage of coming into a Germany that was demoralized, rocked with actual revolution and chaos, and financial ruin.
Here is the difference though. Hitler, while a sociopath like Trump, actually came from relatively humble beginnings and built himself up through experience to come to lead Germany. He learned through trial and error, even spending time in jail for his activities how to hone his craft.
Trump has had everything handed to him. He is incompetent at everything but being a con man. He can fool people who WANT to be fooled. He has the backing of Conservatives because they know they cannot win legitimately. Trump couldn't even get through one term with a relatively neutered Democratic Party.
Trump is evil, but he is really stupid and ignorant.
