... Mr Trump is worse than Mr Hitler in many respects, which may be like saying a rabid wolverine is worse than a rabid skunk (no insult intended to either of these fine animals). Mr Hitler actually had coherent policies to improve Germany domestically and internationally. Mr Trump's sole policy seems to be "we'll wing it."

America is too racially diverse to allow a Hitler-type demagogue to take power, but a Mussolini-type is very possible.
