"Donald Trump is willing to say and do anything to get elected"

that is a story line that the media loves to throw at candidates. That was one of their scripts about Al Gore.

Playing the Hitler card, That is another common script that I guess will be with us for 1,000 years even if the Reich is not. Every President, every candidate for office will probably be compared to Hitler by their detractors. Silly. For one thing Germany was in much tougher shape when Hitler arose than America is now. For another anti-semitism was much stronger in that culture than any sort of islamophobia or racism is in this one. For another, Jews were a much smaller group in Germany than "minorities" are in this one.
