Nope. Like Hitler, he wants an alliance with other despots (Putin, Kim, and the Nationalist numbskulls in Europe and Brazil).

Unlike Adolf, Donald wants Putin to invest in his Russian hotel and resort business. Kim is attention getting theater and a counter punch to keep his enemies off balance. The numbskulls are his base's cousins.

Hitler and Stalin had a non-aggression pact (until they didn't). No historical parallels are perfect, but there are plenty of similarities between 1930's Germany and today's America.

With an admiration for Mussolini. Yeah, not good. I would say he is also a bit like Tojo except Tojo wasn't a fat, stupid, lazy, draft dodging vagina.

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

You are correct about the similarities, but have a country wrong and the time predates Hitler's Germany. The correct country is America.

What are the historical parallels between the nonagression pact, and Trump and Putin? They don't have to be perfect.

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?
