Trump is a different kind of egotist than Hitler, so probably won't be as bad as Hitler. Still bad though.

The Nazis had a thing called "working towards the fuhrer" because basically Hitler enjoyed spouting his racist nonsense and only settled as the economy improved.

Hitler did NOT have four years of the Dems fixing things for him.

Trump was a draft dodger, born into a life of wealth and privilege.Hitler was a poverty stricken WW1 veteran who later conducted political street brawls.

Hitler had people like Reinhard Heydrich with a ready plan to kill the jews in a systemic way. Trump has Stephen Miller, Russ Vought, and Pete Hegseth... Along with a smattering of Curtis Yarvin influnced wanna be queens in waiting with wads of cash and suggestions they might need their own little kingdoms to rule.

Trump was a reality TV star. He wants to be liked. Hates having his ego challenged, and is seldom the smartest person in the room.

Trump will likely lean more libertarian monachy, possibly trying to get a despotic state in place, backed by whomever he awards a fifedom to, in exchange for large wads of cash (see Marc Andresseen's plans for Solano California for details).

Trump will be a brutalist, particularly in terms of deportations. Trump will institute a secret police that acts in an extra judicial way IF there are mass protests against him... He may authorize a lethal use of force as long as he has someone else to blame.

It is unlikely he would have systematic death camps. I don't see America getting to that place, or the economy being bad enough to drive it. But mass imprisonment and labour camps? Possibly depends on if/how badly he crashes the economy.

So that's pretty close to Hitler, but not quite Hitler. What if Hitler was stupid, and everyone around him came from a softer background and were mostly just greedy little Libertarians and scam artists.

Best case scenario: Libertarian hell hole, multiple US wars due to economic crash, but ultimately Trump being forced to keep democracy in a very corrupt format (worse than it is now).

Worse case scenario, end of democracy, totalitarian state, deadly labour camps and political prisoners, permanent state of war, kingdoms with different levels of punishment/control (war lordism). But it will be a stupid nonsensical version of these things, more Idiocracy than Fourth Reich.

By the way, that's why the billionaire welfare queens want little kingdoms. They're afraid, scared libertarians who don't understand community unless they're at top calling the shots.
