which most Americans know very little about. They only know about his actions and atrocities after becoming dictator. Trump follows a similar pattern in many ways and there are some similarities in personality and character.
But there are differences, too. Making a detailed comparison would take too much time and space here. I would summarize a comparison by saying that Hitler was obsessively disciplined and organized while Trump is obsessively disorganized and chaotic. But toward the end, Hitler became more and more disorganized and insane.
Hitler formulated his own political philosophy and long range plans and wrote about them. Trump is too disorganized and rebellious to have that kind of mental discipline. But he has people close to him who share his racist views and can formulate plans for him.
