The German military was still strong enough to stop Hitler. They declined.
Not sure what this has to do with Trump. Technically, Germany was not supposed to have much of a military. So if the German generals stood up to Hitler in 1933 and installed their own Fuhrer it likely would have thrown the country into a civil war or caused France to reoccupy a section of Germany. Hitler had his own private army, the SA and he compromised with the army by taking out the SA's top leadership. After that Hitler was skilled at dividing the generals and forcing those who opposed him into retirement. So he showed more political skill than Trump.
You keep missing the point which is that when you get past everything Hitler still had a large number of people that supported him. He didn't ascend to power via a coup de tat. Trump has a large number of people supporting him also. He isn't a default choice and it is disingenuous to keep suggesting that the American people don't want this assclown. He wasn't forced upon anyone. They voted for this jerk and it isn't really surprising that his disapproval ratings really haven't decline since he became President. Few points here or there. This is what this country wanted. Now we got it and it is time to buckle up
So you're saying that Trump is just like hitler because a large number of people support him.
Quite reasonable.
No one seems to want to acknowledge that they support him, alas Hitler. To hear people on here tell it the only reason the albatross that is Trump was elected is because he had the good fortune of running against Hillary. No one supports him yet everyone supports him. Hyperbole being used in both instances but the fact of the matter is that the goof could have been stopped by simply not voting for him. Take Hillary out of the equation and he still easily dispatched with the rest of the field.
Its time to really address the Hitler stuff too. If Trump had the ability to be a damn totalitarian there is no doubt that he would. The fact that America has systems in place to prevent it doesn't negate who he happens to be. The asshole implemented the soon to be illegal Muslim ban as soon as he took office. He also scolded the media about the coverage of him. He has attempted to neuter the intelligence communities on numerous occasions. He has ran the Presidency as an autocrat from the moment he took office. Hitler was more than the Holocaust. He had a governing style too and it was no different than any other run of the mill dictator.
Trump has sought to undermine every established institution in this country. That is standard totalitarian practice. Play with it if you like.
