Thought For The Day – Trump Is Like Hitler*

Don't Take This The Wrong Way

September 4, 2025

Given the relentless abrogation of his oath of office and his utter and relentless contempt for anyone who is not Donald Trump, including deploying the United States military against American citizens on home soil, blatantly demanding Texas to steal House seats from voters, and a list of other infractions too long and nauseating to mention, many people are saying Trump is like Hitler.

Almost every day people come up to me, big strong men, women and even children, tears in their eyes, they say “Sir, we are so sad that Trump is like Hitler. We did not vote for Hitler. We don’t want Hitler. We don’t want Trump to be like Hitler. How do we stop Trump from being like Hitler?”

I try to calm their nerves by responding with an answer to simple, so true, it cannot be denied and should without any doubt put the whole issue to rest; “It makes no sense to say Trump is like Hitler. Hitler had a mustache.” Case closed. 

“Our capitol city has been taken over by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.”
                                      Donald Trump

We at Paying Attention™ would never say that Trump is like Hitler because if we were to say Trump is like Hitler, and to be clear, we are not saying that Trump is like Hitler, many other people – those who like us, refuse to say that Trump is like Hitler – might take a statement like “Trump is like Hitler” the wrong way.

“The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country…Without law and order our nation cannot survive.”
                                     Donald Trump**

See, completely different – Trump’s on a white horse

And Hitler never said anything like this…

“I have a right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.”

I Do Not See Hitler When I Look At Trump

The main reason we would never say that Trump is like Hitler is that there is a huge difference between Trump and Hitler. Adolf Hitler wanted to take over the world. Donald Trump wants to fuck over the world.

These are very different agendas.

I mean, come on, would a murderous dictator who terrorizes his own populace go around putting giant posters of his vomitous face all over town?

Q: Is Trump really a dictator or just a dick? A: Let’s go with both.

And it’s not like Trump is sending masked stormtroopers and tanks into minority cities to violently assault, terrorize and kidnap non-white people from courthouses, hospitals, schools, farms and Home Depots. Right?

Oh, and Hitler didn’t pal around with pedophile sex traffickers and was not himself a serial rapist. That we know of.

Also, and perhaps most important, Hitler had the good sense to blow his brains out when the going got tough.

Just so we’re clear.

*Though this reads ‘Trump is like Hitler’, we are not saying that Trump is like Hitler; the phrase ‘Trump is like Hitler’ is merely part of the heading. As you will read, or have already read, we are in no way aligning ourselves with those who say Trump is like Hitler...even if you are one of those who believes, perhaps reasonably, that Trump is like Hitler. Our apologies to any who thought because Trump is working straight from the Hitler playbook, that we implied Trump is like Hitler. You will Nazi us claim that Trump is like Hitler.
**Oops, this one was actually Adolf Hitler. This was our mistake and for that we apologize.

This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought For The Day.
And not an attempt to convince anyone that Trump is like Hitler.
