US Election & Presidency

^^^^ Equating Trump with Hitler?? Bit of a stretch to say the least IMO.

I'm afraid his actions and comments so far are chillingly like those that Hitler used when he came to power.

Not really when you look at the similarities.

The majority of those 'warning signs' are equally applicable to Communist regimes or indeed any form of authoritarian government. Trump is not Hitler and it's really misleading to equate his populism with Nazism.

Perhaps you don't acknowledge it but it is there.

Trump may be distasteful to us in many respects but that doesn't mean he should be compared with Hitler who's regime started a devestating world war and was responsible for The Holocaust. I don't particularly like Jeremy Corbyn but to liken him to Chairman Mao would be ridiculous. The US in 2017 is not Germany in 1933.

Hitler's regime started long before the war please do your research.

I'm aware Hitler came to power before 1939, hence my comment about the vast differences between The USA in 2017 and Germany in 1933.

Surely by equating Trump with Hitler you are implying the two are comparable? Given that Hitler headed a government that was largely responsible for the outbreak of the Second World War and entirely responsible for The Holocaust, he is intricately linked with both.

It's already happening.

What's already happening??

If you believe we're on the road to world war three and genocide that's fair enough but personally I don't think that view is backed up by the facts or Trumps actions so far.
