It is a rule of thumb in contemporary politics that you should not mention Hitler in any context. Democrats and liberals regularly compare Republicans and conservatives with Nazis, but for the GOP, the MSM will make sure it backfires with round-the-clock selective righteous indignation.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s inarticulate invocation of Hitler in the context of Syrian sarin gas attacks was meant to condemn the use of such weapons, the operative word here, in war against civilian or even military targets.

These are the source of the bile and filth that smears its putrid excrement wherever goodness can be found. Its sworn enemies are truth, freedom and the American Way.
It’s not my call who Trump’s advisors are
That is entirely his decision.
But, I like Bannon more than Priebus, and I trust his kids to protect his back.
