But Christopher Browning, an expert on Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, wouldn’t put what’s happening in the United States today under President Donald Trump in the same category as the fascism that Nazi Germany saw.

 “I still say Trump is not Hitler, and Trumpism is not national socialism,” Browning told me in a phone interview. “What are the right terms for him? Certainly he is an autocrat, somebody who wants to rule outside the Constitution, outside the law, outside the previous norms. He certainly is a kleptocrat, someone who absolutely, openly and shamelessly is enriching himself through colossal corruption in a way no previous president has ever imagined, much less tried.”

Sooo, not EXACTLY Hitler, but REALLY close…
