How many dog whistles and other hints at Nazism/dictatorship have Trump given so far?

We know Trump's recent "unified reich" dog whistle. We also know Trump saying that he will be a dictator on day one, then claiming of course that he was joking. He also used "vermin", a word Hitler would use, in a speech last year when referring to the left. What else though? What other hints has he given so far that hint that these are not just coincidences?

Hopefully the stress of the trials and the truth about him will emerge and stroke him out!

Some of them, and not even all of them, are on board with his nazism schtick. The rest of the nation, not really thinking about fascism v democracy, will go to the polls and vote for the guy who isn't the cut rate Hitler of the two choices.

trump is an idiot to be thinking a few hints at dictator for a day, or an offhand remark about a unified Reich will persuede voters steeped and raised in a democracy to vote for a wholesale switch to a dictatorship.

He's not the sharpest tool in the shed...although he thinks he is.

NOT.
