Trump is a racist demagogue, as was Hitler. That's pretty much where the similarities end.
The Nazi party existed before Hitler. In fact, there were any number if similar parties in Germany. Hitler had spellbinding oratorical skills. (Trump, on the other hand, just tosses out a few phrases now and then as red meat to his "base."
The party had an agenda before Hitler came along. However, his oratorical skills pushed him to the front. Also, Hitler had an agenda. He had a clear plan. He had written a book on it. Trump has no party, no plan, no agenda.
Hitler had an apparatus to work with. Trump has nothing. The only people who like him are a bunch of older, poorly educated folk.
For Trump to succeed -- even if elected -- he would need the Congress, the courts, the agencies, and the military. He has none of that. He would end up making speeches and spend the rest of his time arranging pencils on his desk and making phone calls to people who would never return them. In short order, he would probably go mad.
Trump is an idiot and an asshole. His only success will be in totally destroying the GOP -- which has been dead for a long time and lacking only someone to push them over. Trump is that guy.
