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 Jew part doesn't scare me at all. The only thing scary is "New York Writer Liberal."
Hitler was a psychopath. Trump is just a con man.
Even if that were true, how in the world would that make Trump worse? There is a huge difference in a psychopath who murdered and tortured millions and 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. But I dont recall Hitler flip-flopping. I dont see him saying one morning, Im going to invade Poland, and then softening his stance that afternoon after meeting with Sean Hannity. He didnt decide to kill the Jews, then change his mind when his new campaign manager arrived. I said the kill the Jew singular, one Jew, not all the Jews. Just the bad ones. Hitler was a megalomaniacal psychopath who should burn in Hell for eternity who actually believed in something.
He's an atheist. So he's not even a practicing Jew.
This man, who was raised in synagogue and sat next to a man who survived the Holocaust, says Hitler was a "megalomaniacal psychopath", but gosh darn it, at least he had "opinions" and "plans". This is better than Trump who has changed his mind on issues - although I think he has been consistent on issues like lowering taxes, removing regulations, expanding American energy, building the wall, trade, America first foreign policy, repealing Obamacare, school choice, and appointing conservative SCOTUS judges. Irrelevant, though, that Trump has changed his mind on things after time and discussion. Hitler was at least not a flip flopper - he was consistent.
To make a buck, to get out of hock, to get some fame, to get his own TV network the ignominious ends always justify the ignoble means. Even his run for president is a con, a way to gain even more power than this millionaires son was already born with. It certainly isnt to implement any deeply felt ideas. It cant be. He hasnt got any. Its all about the con.
First of all, Trump already had bucks. Trump already had fame. Trump spent over 60 million of his own money to run for President. If there is any candidate running for the sheer power, it is Hillary Clinton. She stuck with Bill and enabled his bimbo chasing, working her way from governor's wife, to First Lady, to Senator, to a failed run, to Secretary of State, and now she is aiming for the Presidency again. That has always been her ultimate goal. She wants the power. As stated above, Trump does have consistent positions on issues.
And give the man credit, by the way hes good at it. He is, as he says, the best. The white nationalists are eating it up,
Trump has disavowed them, but continue on. The Communists have endorsed Hillary by the way with no disavowal.
Am I praising Hitler? No. Im 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.
WOW! (He says you can't say that about Trump.)
Is Trump a megalomaniacal demagogue? Yes. Is he a sociopath? Undoubtedly. Is he dangerous? Maybe.
Wait a minute. Am I reading the same article? He just said that Trump isn't a psychopath but a con man paragraphs earlier. Now he's sociopath which is essentially the same thing. He also said Hitler was megalomaniacal while referring to Trump as a con man, but not he has applied that word to Trump too.
The comparison that matters is not, Is Donald Trump like Hitler? but, Are we like Hitlers willing executioners?
This is from the same people that bristle when abortion is compared to the Holocaust because there are legitimately over 50 million dead unborn children. However, this guy makes a Holocaust style comparison with Donald Trump and liberals praise it. Shameful.
Will we look the other way, say we didnt know, stand silently by while millions of our neighbors are rounded up, while women who get abortions are punished, while immigrants are given ideology tests and our leader heaps praise on oppressive tyrants?
~Millions of your neighbors rounded up? I would assume he is referring to people who are here ILLEGALLY. Also, based on Trump's speech it doesn't sound like there is going to be a big round up of illegal immigrants right away (if ever). It sounds like the focus will be on securing the borders and rounding up criminals. How many illegal immigrants do you think are neighbors to this guy anyway? I mean, really. If he's like a lot of liberal elitists, he lives in a nice neighborhood or nice part of town where there are no illegal immigrants next door.
~Trump is NOT going to punish women who get abortions. Useless argument.
~Trump wants to check immigrants to ensure that they are immigrants who love and want to assimilate into this country, not people who want to do it harm. Hitler!
~Here we go with the old Washington Post Trump and tyrants spiel again to end this. I have done extensive posts addressing these issues if anyone is interested:

The moment of truth: We must stop Trump
Like any number of us raised in the late 20th century, I have spent my life perplexed about exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany. Watching Donald Trumps rise, I now understand. Leave aside whether a direct comparison of Trump to Hitler is accurate. That is not my point. My point rather is about how a demagogic opportunist can exploit a divided country.

Donald Trumps new favorite slogan was invented for Nazi sympathizers
He wasnt quite promising America über alles, but it comes close. America First was the motto of Nazi-friendly Americans in the 1930s, and Trump has more than just a catchphrase in common with them.

The DIMS internal polling must be devastating; otherwise, they wouldn’t be this unhinged.
The author needs serious professional help.
You left out the self-hating part.
WaPo, like CNN (and so many other Uniparty organs) have collective psychosis. They are no more stable than someone who has overdosed on LSD.
Then you have nothing to worry about. Whatever it is about Trump that you fear won't come to fruition.
why this garbage got posted here?!
The Left is trying to blame Turmp for everything they know Hillary to be. It’s their ultimate ‘weapon,” to get there first, so that like children they can repy with, “you’re copying me.”
The Left is the horrible combination of the blackest evil with infantile stupidity.
To gaze at it too long is stupifying, you can feel your brains drip out your ears.
Don`t complain about Hitler if you`re going to diminish his evil by comparing it to any person whose politics you just happen to disagree with. You, as a Jew, should be ashamed at the way you trivialize Hitler`s atrocities.
Has anyone here listened to the network news lately? Nothing but all bashing of Trump, all the time.
Now the latest is “Did he pay for something or another out of his charity?” and “Is he in trouble with the IRS for it?”
NOT “We have FOUND something” but “we are speculating about imaginary stuff”
absolute pieces of crud
If Trump wants to listen to some Jewish person’s thoughts, I suggest some Israeli platoon commander serving on the front line of the war civilization vs. 7th century barbarism rather than some New York writer whose greatest worries are about which Republican is most like Hitler this week and which bagel shop has the best schmere.

He is not saying Trump is worse than Hitler. He is saying that comparing people to Hitler makes light of what Hitler did. But the title is salacious and misleading. Probably the editor’s idea.
National Socialist German Workers Party 1929 aka NAZI Party Platform.
Unity of party and state.
Children belonged to the state.
Strong federal central government.
State controlled press and media.
Strict state intervention into the economy.
Gun controls.
Slow erasing of Christianity .
“Trump is Hitler” has now morphed into “Trump is worse than Hitler”. The left’s desperation is so obvious.
How old was Hitler when he started his political career? About thirty. He was born in 1889, and died in 1945 - age 56.How old was Trump when he threw his hat into the ring for the first time? About 69. If Trump was determined to abuse power, he sure took his time trying to obtain it.
Hillary doesnt compare well on that count, for sure. Checks and balances? The biggest check any politician faces is universally hostile press coverage. Im not worried about tyranny coming from Trump.
Shalom Auslander? ROTFL. This has got to be satire.
When all else fails - drag out the “You’re A Nazi” card.
This is the best she can do? Name-calling?
Hillary is done.
The author needs to look at this as an eight year marathon, not a two month sprint.
He’s using everything up at once.
