Obama compares Trump to Hitler

If President Donald J. Trump and a Nazi, he's a failure. This week, in a move that Israel is hailing, Trump announced that we are moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The president's daughter, Ivanka, converted to Judaism. Her children--Trump's grandchildren--are being raised as Jews.

But Trump is still Hitler in the mind of leftists, such as Barack Obama.

Greg Hinz, a liberal who writes for Crain's Chicago Business, reported on Obama's anti-Trump comments at the Chicago Climate Summit.

Still, the U.S. has survived tough times before and will again, he noted, particularly mentioning the days of communist fighter Joseph McCarthy and former President Richard Nixon. But one reason the country survived is because it had a free press to ask questions, Obama added. Though he has problems with the media just like Trump has had, "what I understood was the principle that the free press was vital."

The danger is "grow(ing) complacent," Obama said. "We have to tend to this garden of democracy or else things could fall apart quickly."

That's what happened in Germany in the 1930s, which despite the democracy of the Weimar Republic and centuries of high-level cultural and scientific achievements, Adolph [sic] Hitler rose to dominate, Obama noted. "Sixty million people died. . . .So, you've got to pay attention. And vote."
