      Let’s play a game! Which of these quotes are Trump’s, and which are Hitler’s?

      1. “Jews and migrants are poisoning Aryan blood,”

      2. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done,”

      3. “I will get rid of the communist vermin”

      4. “They’re coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia, over the world. They’re pouring into our country.”

      5. “I will take care of the enemy within”

      6. “We pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie and steal and cheat on elections … The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within.”

      7. “One people, one realm, one leader.”

      Here is the answer key: Every other one is a Hitler quote, starting with the first one. And yet, these quotes are in significant overlap. We shouldn’t have a president who is taking a page out of Hitler’s book.
