Donald and Adolph
Hitler “did a lot of good things,” Trump told his White House chief of staff John Kelly.
Joint Chiefs chairman feared potential 'Reichstag moment' aimed at keeping Trump in power
In the waning weeks of Donald Trump’s term, the country’s top military leader repeatedly worried about what the president might do to maintain power after losing reelection, comparing his rhetoric to Adolf Hitler’s during the rise of Nazi Germany and asking confidants whether a coup was forthcoming, according to a new book by two Washington Post reporters.
As Trump ceaselessly pushed false claims about the 2020 presidential election, Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, grew more and more nervous, telling aides he feared that the president and his acolytes might attempt to use the military to stay in office, Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker report in “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year.”
Milley described “a stomach-churning” feeling as he listened to Trump’s untrue complaints of election fraud, drawing a comparison to the 1933 attack on Germany’s parliament building that Hitler used as a pretext to establish a Nazi dictatorship.

trump was responsible for elevating milley to the job of chairman of the joint chiefs of staff in the first place.
ok not saying that hitler was a good guy, but he did manage to raise up the country of germany beyond the massive sanctions that the financial world had placed on them.
The ruling families here & the British monarchy felt that Russia should have been the enemy, not Germany.
