Nope. Trump is an Adolph wannabe, trying to overthrow the establishment (Wilhelm) while the establishment enables it.

Trump's trying to beat up the establishment. The establishment can cope wth a bloody nose, black eye and a few bruises. If Trump is delusional enough to think he can replace the establishment with himself, his cronies and your delusion brown shirts, he's doomed to failure.

Trump believes that the establishment is in collusion with our major trading partners, especially the Chinese, to undercut America.

His big disadvantage is that he is garrulous. He does not have the finesse to make his case.

Hitler overthrew a weak government. The industrialists went along because he was good for them. The military and bureaucracy for the same reason. Turned out Nazi Germany was not good for them and by the time Germany realized this it was too late.

How is Trump using the establishment to overthrow the government?

As in America, German industrialists in the 1930s were to a large degree, the German military industrial complex. So, yes, military build up was a boom to business for them. However, once the tide turned against Germany, allied bombing raids proved disastrous for their bottom line. Also as we've seen in America, Capitalists are not known for their long term vision...……...

It would be more accurate to say Trump is using the Republican Party to destroy American Democracy and put control of the government directly in the hands of American Corporate bosses. Some might call this "Fascism".

I do.

James Mattis

As an Obama supporter, it's painful to have some of my reservations on his policies and decisions confirmed by a nonpolitically motivated credible source.
