Former President Donald Trump has entered "new terrain" based on his authoritarian tendencies and rhetoric that has drawn comparisons by some to Adolf Hitler, argues a psychiatrist quoted in a New York Times op-ed.

Trump took issue with multiple groups during a Veterans Day speech in Claremont, New Hampshire, saying: "On Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections."

He repeated the phrasing and use of the word "vermin," almost verbatim in a Truth Social post following the speech, adding that such groups will "legally or illegally" attempt to "destroy America, and the American Dream." President Joe Biden's 2024 re-election team said Trump had embraced the language of Hitler by using the word "vermin."

A post on November 13 on X, formerly Twitter, by left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch attempted to delve deeper into the Trump-Hitler comparison, comparing statements and rhetoric between the 45th president and the Nazi Party leader.

1. He's absolutely desperate and will stop at nothing to preserve himself which is under attack.

We are in for a wretched ride, but we will persevere. Polls shmolls ...it's a year away and people can spout their BS now ...but as we get closer they need to STFU and rally the fuck around and VOTE DEM ....WHENEVER YOU CAN.....PERIOD AND AMEN.

7. Nah, he'll play the denial game as he did in 2020.

Then we can arrest him for inciting a riot. (Which we should have done in 2020.)
