The difference between Trump and Hitler

Shalom Auslander in the Washington Post said at least Hitler believed in something, abhorrent though it was. Trump is just a con man.

I am a Jew — a New York Writer Liberal Jew, the scariest Jew of all — and from a very young age, I was taught about an unimaginable horror called the Holocaust and about an evil man named Adolf Hitler. The elderly man who sat beside me every Saturday morning in synagogue was a Holocaust survivor, and his elderly wife was a Holocaust survivor, as well. And so the first reason the comparison of Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler bothers me is not because it belittles the deaths of millions of innocents, but because, frankly, it belittles Adolf Hitler.

Hitler believed Jews were the cause of every problem. He believed extermination was the solution. He believed that the “Spear of Destiny,” the spear the Romans used to poke Jesus on the cross, would give him magical powers. He had an elaborately developed, hideous, deplorable theory of how things worked, and he believed in it deeply.

Trump doesn’t.

Hitler was a psychopath. Trump is just a con man.

Hitler had some opinions, he had some plans. They were monstrous and evil, and reason enough for even an avowed atheist to consider the existence of Satan…

Am I praising Hitler? No. I’m saying that if you absolutely had to find just one thing to say about Hitler that was positive — if you could somehow siphon out all the festering, maggot-infested sewage that filled his soul to reveal one razor-thin sliver to point to in his favor — you could possibly say, well, at least he believed what he said.

Which you can’t say about Donald Trump.

    Hitler was nice to dogs. We don’t have any video of Trump with a dog. https://youtu.be/KC9XfcJFeOM

      I hate the fact I have something in common with that evil human.

        Me, too. But look how handsome those dogs are.
        Cute puppies.

      Yeah, but he did test cyanide pills on his dogs before he and Eva took them.

      Those Republicans, wasn’t it Romney who tied his dog to the roof of the car because it crapped in the back seat ?

    Maybe…maybe not but I sure hope we don’t have to find out if Rump is Hitler X 2 or a just the biggest con man in the history of American politics…

    If elected Trump would start to believe all his BS and would go off the deep end. There is no denying that he js unbalanced even now.

      Deep end ? if he was knee deep he would be in over his head

    It drives me nuts when people compare the two, rump wishes he was similar to Hitler. They are both evil egomaniacs who thrive off of power, but one was given the opportunity and the other never will be given that power….both are mental issues, but only one has the ability to think critically. I will never belittle what Hitler did, and comparing the two does that.

    Actually, I was thinking Trump is more like Gaddafi…only not as smart or good looking…they had those long enchanted evenings in the Gaddafi tents, in Trump’s back yard, those many years ago…

    The difference between Trump and Hitler
    simple.
    Hitler didn’t avoid military service for a sore foot, and he didn’t have someone else write his book for him. Also…Hitler did the right thing and blew his brains out when he knew he was caught.

    T rump’s positions change with the weather.
    The list of similarities between the Republican platform and the positions of the Third Reich is long and scary. The main difference is merely a matter of degrees.

    I don’t know why the common understanding that Trump doesn’t believe what he says is so popular. I think he believes every damn thing he says. His whole being radiates hatred and sliminess.

    When a person shows you who they are, believe them.

  12. robert September 14th, 2016 at 23:56

    Trump absolutely believes what he says and also knows he won’t get away with his true beliefs. At least not in this country

    The op should have said trump is Hitler born at least 4 decades late Now that makes more sense
