Trump has a habit of seizing upon narratives he likes — including from autocrats and fascists — while ignoring the repercussions.

Donald Trump’s use of language echoing Adolf Hitler in particular is a reminder of his superficial understanding of autocrats and dictators.

@pbump I suspect that Trump has only a shallow understanding of history and the people he parrots and praises. But someone close to him does understand and is feeding him ideas. Or writing directly for him.
