It has been observed that #45 more resembles Mussolini than Hitler in a number of ways. For example, Mussolini used lies to claim he made the trains run on time: they didn’t, so he simply declared that they did and refused to admit otherwise.
The rhetorical style is more Mussolini’s than Hitler’s, though Ivana has said there was a book of Hitler’s speeches by the bed that he would read, and he has come very close on quotations every once in a while, not to mention using the “Big Lie” technique.
Also, let’s not forget that Hitler and Mussolini served in their respective armies, and Hitler was a deservedly decorated war hero. #45 declared that venereal disease was his Viet Nam and got faked doctor’s reports to get out of serving – and referred to those who did as “suckers.”
I don’t generally do serial postings, but I must offer some of Tom Nichol’s excellent piece below. If you are not familiar with him, he is a professor at the Naval War College and a writer. This is from the Atlantic.
Apologies, did not notice the char limit cutoff, missed the most important part, the part of Trump’s speech.

Just like our present regime insists the Border is secure, amongst all of the other lies being told. “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!” You got fooled again!!
It’s true, Donnie John more exactly “mirrors” Benito than Adolf – except in the area of brains.
Remember that Mussolini was a schoolteacher before he went off the “rails” – the only way Trump would be allowed in American schools is as a bad example…
Even assuming (an absurdity, of course!) that P01135809 is not emulating either of these two dictators, P01135809’s actions as POTUS and post-POTUS showed how unfit P01135809 is even to be a dog-catcher.

Trump wants to put his political enemies in concentration camps, the USA used to fight fascist people like that to the death.

So were Hitler or Mussolini also rapists? I think he has Mussolini beat and given the chance, he’ll give Hitler a run for his money

I wonder if the end of Trump will be like the end of Mussolini. That bit they can gladly have in common.

Even before he was elected I commented that his pose resembled Mussolini’s.

Trump is mentally ill. GOP voting for him must be also. Destruction of America is closer than they think. They don’t think.
