Social media users also accused Trump of plagiarizing the words of another movie character, Bane, from the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. While Trump and Bane used similar lines (Trump said "we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people" and Bane said "The oppressors of generations ... who have kept you down with myths of opportunity. And we give it back to you ...the people&quot , this was more a case of vague coincidence than actual plagiarism.

political strategy from another source:

Hitler promised to overturn the Treaty of Versailles and stop reparations and to give Germany back her pride.

He also promised to re-arm Germany, contrary to the Treaty. By recruiting a large army and building a whole new navy and air force, Hitler would be able to reduce unemployment. This promise made him popular both with some sections of the unemployed and the military.

Hitler’s promise of strong government and stability was widely supported particularly by industrialists, who were terrified of the left wing unions and communism. Particularly after the Wall Street Crash, many big businessmen made huge donations to the Nazi Party.

By making the Jews the scapegoat no-one had to take responsibility for their role in Germany’s collapse.
