Using the term "Final Solution" in relation to tRump's motives/actions

Had a real visceral reaction to the use of this term in a GD thread, wondering if others feel it is also grossly insensitive?

If anyone cares to weigh in... http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1736967

Eta the guy actually is comparing people who pollute to nazis. As if polluting a river is the same as rounding up people and killing them in a gas chamber. (post 48, I just alerted) eta2 vote was 0-7.
