Literally Hitler! Washington Post columnist compares Dow hitting 20,000 to Nazi Germany

Donald Trump is literally Hitler! Once again, someone on the left has compared the 45th president to the former German Chancellor.

Anne Applebaum, a Washington Post columnist, sent out a tweet on Wednesday that compared the Dow Jones hitting a record high of 20,000 to Nazi Germany.

Here is the tweet:

“Just remember: in Nazi Germany, the stock market rose and rose and kept rising, right up to Stalingrad.”

This comes days after actress (?) Ashley Judd said during the women’s march that Americans had substituted a mustache for a toupee and that Nazis are sitting inside the cabinet. Pope Francis recently warned that the populist movement may lead to the election of the next Hitler.

Since Trump’s upset victory, the Dow Jones is up nearly 10 percent, the S&P 500 is up close to seven percent and the NASDAQ has surged roughly nine percent.

The rise in the stock market is due to an array of factors, including Federal Reserve money printing and Trump’s proposal to cut taxes and regulations.

It becomes really ridiculous when Americans start comparing the United States president to Adolf Hitler. It was absurd when many in the Tea Party made the comparison between Barack Obama and Hitler. It was head scratching when the left compared Mitt Romney to Hitler. It is stupid when so many on the left compare Trump to Hitler. Indeed, their policies may perhaps be inept and generate a lot of disagreement, but unless a president wants to send millions of people of a so-called inferior race to the gas chamber then everyone should cool it on the “literally Hitler” talk.
