To be fair it did take Hitler 5 years before he invaded anywhere, still time for Trump

True, but then let us not forget our own pathological lying PM that took this country to war in the Middle East and Afghanistan leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands and displacement of millions.

For every damp bed that is going to arise from this visit there should be pile upon pile of saturated mattresses connected with the disgrace that is the nation’s favourite Tory PM a certain Tony Blair.

If it wasn’t so pitiful it would be laughable.

Cue the millionaire champagne socialist Russell Brand, squeaking for his Guy Fawkes masked, hoody wearing army of unwashed losers to take to the streets, in righteous protest, with a lot of justified vandalism and associated looting to fund their drug and alcohol habits.

Mind you, there might be people protesting simply because the Trump is an ass.

True. But if they vandalise, steal or hurt anyone, they're no better than Trump.

Lewes Punk said:

Comparisons with Hitler aren't entirely ludicrous though are they?

Of course Trump hasn't ordered genocide. But :

He is a fascist. He places his country above every other one and defines 'patriotism' as agreement with his world view, dissent as treachery.
He identifies other ethnic groups as the 'enemy within' and the source of his nation's troubles.
He has contempt for the machinery of democracy, the rule of law and any expertise which doesn't accord with his world view.
He is a racist.
He is a habitual liar.
He is driven by some deep-seated personal insecurity which means he needs constant approbation.
He has absurd hair.

Economic growth, the lowest unemployment rate since 2000, the prospect of being the first ever President to talk to and strike a deal with North Korea, record stock market rises, ISIS largely defeated.

But he’s said some insulting things in the past so thousands will take to the streets to protest against the leader of our greatest ally.
