Wow, you're wrong again, as usual, and it was his running made, VD Vance that started the Hitler nomenclature. Hopefully won't happen, I'll agree with you on that!

You are the one making the mistake. Trump has threatened and brow beat people for years. That people hate him enough to shoot him IS on him. If it happens you will read all of his violence provoking statements that will be dragged out to prove my point.

You need to read this and you need to remember Trump's reference to fine people on both sides when one side carried torches and chanted 'the Jews will not replace us'; sounds Hitlerian to me.

JD Vance once called former U.S. President Donald Trump "America's Hitler."

In 2016, Vance wrote in a private message to his former law school roommate: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging?"

Shortly after Donald Trump announced his running mate in the 2024 presidential election — U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio — a claim spread on social media that Vance once called Trump "America's Hitler."

"How do you feel about JD Vance being VP for who he believes to be 'America's Hitler'?" one Reddit post asked.

The claim was true. In a 2016 text message to his former law school roommate, Vance wrote: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging?"
