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

Trump reminds us: History also repeats when people take the wrong lessons

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

There are only two questions worth asking Trump right now. Anyone who can put a microphone in front of him ought to ask.

1. Historians of fascism say your recent remarks resemble the rhetoric used by men like Hitler and Mussolini. Are you a fascist?

2. What would you say differentiates you from men like Mussolini and Hitler, if anything?
