Anne Frank's step sister who survived Auschwitz has pointed out that Trump is acting like Hitler did in his early rise to power. I doubt she makes this statement lightly. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox also said Trump reminds him of Hitler. That's a recent head of state from one of the largest democracies in the world! In my opinion, comparing Trump to Hitler doesn't indicate a lack of advanced reasoning but refusing to say it out of fear of being ridiculed by people who think they're clever because they're familiar with Godwin's Law does.
