I do not think you realize how much the context is different from what happen in Germany after the first world war defeat (which was actually not really a defeat but anyway). Even without comparing Trump to Hitler, the context is totally different... Everybody can find similarities between any democracies or situation out there and any dictatorial regime if you really want to spend time on it...

Comparing the US current state and Germany's situation (and then Hitler regime) is just completly out of place imo.

A lot of Americans nowadays think they live in a bad time. Both Hitler and Trump (and other populists) constantly say that times are bad (mostly because of foreigners, a certain group of people...), that everything was better a few decades ago when the country was still very powerful, and that he will solve all the problems by bringing the country back to its most glorious times.

Every politician out there are populists. 

And you cannot possibly compare how Germany was back then (and not only the state of mind of people but also its position within the world power, not even mentionning how France and England treated them as loser while they all signed an armistice and basically make peace to end the war) with the USA today; it just does not make any sense.
