You do realize that Hitler was a criminal & racist scum right? Keep showing your true colors.
Look again at the title of this thread - "Trump is not like Hitler at all".
That being said, Trump has demonstrated his racism already. Just because one doesn't call for an entire race to be sent to the ovens doesn't mean that one can't be a malicious racist...and most racists, btw, are NOT malicious, for racism does not require malice, but only requires untoward assumptions about another race.
And as far as whether Trump is a criminal...dude. Are you really buried so deeply within the cocoon of right-wing news that you still think that Trump is somehow a law-abiding citizen? Why did he - a sitting president - feel the need to tell his son to lie to the public about what the meeting in Trump Tower was about? And then there's all the times that Trump claimed - even after he took the oath of office - that there had been no meetings and no contact between his campaign staff and the Russians. How'd that turn out?
I don't know how much experience you do or don't have in the military, but I can tell you this - anyone in the military who even once tells a bald-faced lie while on duty (including when speaking to the public and to the press) is taking a serious chance on getting punished in such a way that he'll never advance in rank after that point. Anyone who does so several times is going to get kicked out in fairly short order - I've seen it more than once. Trump is our commander-in-chief - what kind of example is he setting for our military (and for our kids) when he tells misleading statements or outright lies on average more than five times per day?
Trump would never have made it in the military - he wouldn't have stood a chance. He (like anyone else in the military who can't tell the truth even when it makes them look bad) would have been kicked out, probably with a less-than-honorable (i.e. general) discharge.
