You can write paragraphs about how you think these two are alike, but it is highly delusional.
Issue is the beliefe was covid originated in China, not just by Trump but others as well.
Trump didn't use a minority or a race as his sacrificial lamb, blaming all our woes on the Chinese like Hitler did the jews.
Do I think he was a brash idiot and didn't have tact for speaking with couth, and I'd be the last person to support the dude, but he was not or anything like Hitler.
His election did bring out the ugly side of this country though. Seeing and old man get beat almost to death for wearing a MAGA hat, and other racist parties, but he never mobilized this to try and take over the country like a lot of you claim.
Kind of spring boarding off here - I didn't vote for Trump in any election. In fact, I would be willing to say that to the best of my knowledge, he's the worst President in US history (though I gotta say, Biden is doing an amazing job of catching up).
Nevertheless, comparing him to Hitler is asinine and bonkers. Thumpy, you promoted a THEORY that if he'd been left in office he would have gone to the same lengths that Hitler did, but while that's POSSIBLE - the evidence says it's extremely unlikely.
An arrogant SOB who didn't want to let go of power? Sure. Willing or even interested in killing millions upon millions for racist beliefs? There's really not a lot of evidence for that and in fact it's here where if you compare him to Hitler - the DIFFERENCES, which is what I was talking about - really start to show themselves.
One of the US's biggest problems right now is incredibly vitriolic and hyperbolic partisanship. It doesn't help anybody and it makes it virtually impossible for us to reach across the aisle and connect with the other side.
Trump can be both a BAD President AND not at all like Hitler. That's where I think the truth lies. Some on here may think he's great, but that's where I fall. Instead you get hardcore right wing saying he's the greatest ever, and hardcore leftists claiming he gives Satan a run for his money. Both positions are pretty extreme and easy to disprove.
