I don't see Trump as a Nazi, only that he has personality traits like most tyrants. And he whips up the crowds like Hitler did and his crowds cheer him on for the same mindless stupid mean reasons they cheered Hitler. Hitler's crowds had no problem with him torturing the Jews and Trump's crowds have no problem with him being a racist.

Germany, in some ways was a creation of the USA. Back in the 30s, the 1830s, the USA was becoming an industrial powerhouse by stealing technology from Great Britain. Germany was still a bunch of scattered states who's highest technology was probably coo-coo clocks. Great Britain got mad at the USA for violating patents on the steam engines and iron smelting technologies. The USA countered by making even cheaper steel from it's abundant coal and iron deposits, and by improving upon the steam engine concepts with more accurate cutting tools. Great Britain cut USA off. USA countered by trading with Germany, making it an industrial powerhouse in it's own right (much like S.Korea today). The ultimate result was two pan-european wars.
