I see where this is going. But Hitler rose to power when he was still in his 40s, in a democracy that was 15 years old. Trump is in his 70s with no time or reason to become a dictator, and the US is a mature democracy and has been for more than 200 years.

Weimar Germany was far more poor and uneducated than the US today.

Hitler's racism and anti democratic views were part of a systematic worldview that he had openly written about. Trump's - while deplorable -are just thoughtless, incoherent rambles.

no time or reason to become a dictator? It took Hitler 5 months. I would also question how mature the US democracy is. Just because it's old, doesn't not mean it has been overhauled often enough to be bulletproof. But more importantly, this is not about Trump, because he might not have these anti democratic views as part of his systematic worldview, but someone else close behind him with growing power does: Bannon. That man has a dark plan and he hasn't kept it secret.

Front page worthy, really?
