| Eagle367 said: Anyone comparing Hitler to Drumpf, how dare you? Hitler was eloquent, well spoken and had actual personality. Drumpf has none. Hitler was a soldier. Hitler raised his country before going crazy, Drumpf was always crazy and is destroying his country from the get go. Hitler gave healthcare, Drumpf took it away. Hitler hated and killed Jews, including children while Drumpf I think hates no one and loves himself and separates children and kills Muslims in the middle East by the thousands, no where near Hitler's kill count. They are both assholes but different kinds of assholes |
That is an interesting take to say the least. Hitler was not eloquent, he used passion and emotional overtures. Granted I'm not a German speaker so I can't say for sure the level he articulated his speeches, but he usually started softly, sometimes even pausing for several minutes to get people to anticipate his speech, and once he got going he increasingly raised his volume to inflame the passions of his audience. He is consider an influential speaker because he was one of the first to master this tactic. His strong man personality was also fake and merely used to attract the guile's of women and the minds of men.
President Trump is more hyperbolic. At a rally he will use hyperbolic language to have that over the top flare. He also tells inside jokes that mostly his audience would understand and makes fun of his own hyperbolic style. It's why he is so successful with Republicans base because it is that elite vs common man mentality that matches his style and speeches. There are of course similarities to using emotional appeals as a tactic, but what Trump truly excels in is exploiting the press by using ambiguous and unstructured language. It allows his enemies to fill in the blanks to what he says since he does not clarify, which can lead to wrong takes or misinterpreted opinion and make his supporters distrust the news for its biased slant (MS-13 animals). By the way, trust in the validity of the news was down far before Trump announced his candidacy (Gallup). He was just the first to know how to exploit it.
Hitler is not an asshole, he is homicidal and genocidal maniac that nearly destroyed Europe in his quest for world conquest and his belief in Germanic superiority. There simply is no comparison no matter how crude the analogy unless you compare him to Mao or Stalin. All three have over a 100 million souls of blood on their hands. By all means, you can disagree with or hate Trump's decisions, but you only hurt your own argument with such rhetoric.
