> Because Hitler was a successful, ambitious and quite influential politician who fought against the hardships in his life. Sorry that's not a 'first order approximation of similarity to Hitler' any more than 'adult member of the human race' is. A comparison made directly to Hitler would, as a first order approximation, follow the most notable facts about him. In fact, most politicians are not megalomaniacs who rise on a platform of racial scapegoating and then go on to wage total war and genocide. Donald Trump, uniquely among modern American political figures, strikingly resembles the first part of that.
