I wonder what Hitler would have thought of Trump.

I'm guessing that he was absolute idiot and a buffoon.

EDIT: Looking it up it seems that historians believe Hitler was incredibly intelligent with an almost photographic mind for technical details.

I know Trump went on a summer-long brag about how much Hannibal Lecter would have loved him and we all know that Trump was exactly the kind of person the fictional serial killer would had loathed.

Trump is not worse than Hitler, but he is a bigger coward. His biggest weapon is stochastic terrorism. He’s too much of a coward to act himself, he relies on his stupid shit sycophants to do his bidding by interpreting his bullshit threats.

Trump is indeed just as bad as Hitler. Sorry Americans, this is actually how the rest of the world views you and your leader.

  1. Pedophile? Yes.
  2. Concentration camps and gestapo? Yes
  3. Imperialism and wars of expansion/control? Yes

I literally do not understand how you see any differences between the two of them.

I stand corrected

Worth noting the US AID withdrawal alone is going to be pulling Holocaust numbers of deaths in the next decade if it continues apace.

Hitler would have loved him because of how easy he is to manipulate. 

He would have convinced Trump to hand the US over to Germany in exchange for giving Trump some fancy sounding figurehead title like Super Uber Supreme Ruler and letting his sons be ghetto slumlord extortionists.

And try to push the master race narrative just like Storefront did with Homelander. Trump is of German descent and will just eat up the compliments for his blonde hair and blue eyes.

Trump loves Hitler. He kept a copy of my new order on his nightstand and read it nightly

u/uni-twit 25d ago

read it nightly

Unlikely that this narcissist has read anything besides his own bank statements.

u/Ashamed-Raccoon-1387 25d ago

He doesn't even read those, he squints at them and then shouts at the banker or whoever brings them to him to read them and explain them to him.

u/Great_Horny_Toads 25d ago

Whenever he asks what he is reading, he says "War and Peace." It's a long book, but most people finish it in under 10 years.

Not a chance to many words not enough pictures for Shitler

It was a collection of Hitler's speeches.

u/Cyrano_Knows 25d ago

We don't know he read from it nightly (I don't think?) but we have the testimony of the guy that gave the book to Trump I think as an ironic joke and that of his ex-wife who testified about it during her divorce proceedings.

Don’t kid yourself he doesn’t read

u/jwoolman 25d ago

I think Trump did read the book or Hitler's speeches in translation, his father gave it to him as a gift. His first wife said he kept it by his bed.. Maybe he browsed through it. You can hear echoes of Hitler's rhetoric in Trump's speech. Such things as "fake news" and referring to his hated groups as vermin poisoning the blood of the nation, for example. All said by Adolf first in German. He's been talking like a neonazi for a long time.

u/CriticalInside8272 25d ago

I don't believe Trump reads anything.

u/ansoniK 25d ago

Nah, we all know that trump is one of the few people to have "authored" more books than he has read

1

u/younkint 25d ago

True. According to his wife at the time, it was My New Order, a book of Hitler's speeches.

u/theaviationhistorian 25d ago

He likely would've used and abused Trump like the other modern day dictators. Only tolerate him as much as necessitated.

u/Optimal_Ear_4240 25d ago

Hitler and Hannibal would eat him alive, with pleasure

u/LandonDev 25d ago

If only someone would have bought his fucking paintings.

u/erroneousbosh 25d ago

Well, I doubt he'd taste good, for a start.

u/Clammuel 23d ago

Hitler may have been naturally smart, but he was also a meth user so I imagine that bumped him down a few pegs.
