Nothing new about Trump's rallies

This is a shocking story.

The President of the United States can behave in this manner and it hardly makes the news.

He travels around the United States making people angry, adovacting violence.

He works people into a rage, more or less in the same fashion as the little Austrian corporal.

He speaks about 'making America great again', Hitler assured the mob that he would restore Germany to its rightful place in the world after Weimar and the humiliation of defeat after World War I.  

Trump keeps proclaiming that America under Obama was humiliated and the Americans forget what Barack Obama inherited. Had Weimar been given another year an Adolf Hitler would have been impossible.

In the post-war world it has been a taboo subject to compare any leader, demagogue or tyrant to Adolf Hitler.

But the similarity between the angry mobs who listened to Hitler and Trump's mobs makes for a startling comparison.
