Trump’s worldview is very similar to Hitler’s in many ways. The core similarity is that they both thought/think of everything in international relations as zero-sum.
There’s a lot to it that can’t be compressed into a readable Lemmy comment, but it’s pretty easy to find material.
A key difference: Hitler survived on battlefields where he could die a horrible death. Trump lacks the suffering and hardship required to understand what is at stake if he plays the fascist game badly. I think that is going to be a major reason in why Fascist America would lose in the long run, since it doesn’t value competency in any respect. Even the Nazis had some competencies, despite being evil dickheads.
I am not. What I am saying is that he has experience with bloodshed, and the knowledge he could be a corpse if he played the wrong cards. Trump doesn’t understand consequences, because he has never truly risked anything.

Both of them staged a failed insurrection as well.
