Yesterday, there was a blast from the past about Trump bragging after Angela Merkel compared Agent Orange to Hitler.

'Only one other political leader drew bigger crowds.'

The Hitler comparison was implied but Trump understood the reference (or someone clued him in); he was proud enough to repeat the statement.

Because being 'Hitleresque' for these modern strongmen/dictators is a compliment, not a curse.

Insanity!
