A recent letter writer implied that people shouldn't compare Trump to Hitler because Hitler was a socialist, and Trump is not. How noble!
However, the letter writer failed to compare the similarities between the two. Both of them:
- Expressed support that deporting a certain race of people was the solution.
- Had absolutely no government leadership or civics experience.
- Promised to do things that were impossible to achieve.

- Drew large crowds foaming at the mouth to hear his racist rants.
- Wanted to change the country's constitution to suit his warped agenda.
- Ranted how great he is, and that people were lucky to have him.
- Strong-armed and threatened any media sources critical of him.
- Used his cult of personality and celebrity to gain followers.
- Promised to make his country great again.
- Wanted absolute power as a dictator.
- Expressed a complete disregard for the rule of law.

Now, there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that Trump is following the path of Hitler.
