I'd compare Trump more to someone like Mao Zedong than I would Hitler. A nutjob who brainwashed and killed many of his own people.
That' still giving him too much credit, he's really just a conman who ran his campaign and political persona as a WWE pro wrestling heel, which to give him credit was brilliant, as American politics had essentially become a fake sport years ago, but the psychotic dictator label doesn't really fit.
The point of comparing him to Mao is that like Mao he was a populist leader who tried to turn the system in his own country upside down.
Of course Trump has yet to cause the amount of damage or deaths that Mao did, but what he has done is like opening a floodgate. Once you let the water out there's no undoing it.
