Hitler had PLANS. He had disciples who were competent (sometimes VERY competent). He had closely controlled militia.

Whereas Trump is just a reflexive racist authoritarian shithead, narcisstic and probably senile and not very bright.

I'm not sure Hitler was all that bright, either. But he did want to run the country, sort of.

I don't think he was stupid. I can't imagine Trump being able to write a book. And Hitler was focused. He was also crazy charismatic.
