Those are all consequences of your ideology: Reagan and both Bushes loved all those things.
Please list the debt of each president since reagan.

Reading that correctly, the worst were Reagan, Daddy and Bush Jr.
If you actually believe that, you aren't very creative. There are all kinds of other comparisons.
No substantial comparisons, certainly. I mean, I guess you can compare their height, their hair color, their level of education, but who would care?
Who is/was the most malicious? Hitler at least believed that he was doing something to benefit Germany. Trump isn't the least bit interested in doing anything to help America, its people, or anything else. His interest never goes farther than getting more money and getting others to idolize him.
I can see why someone who voted for the draft dodging fascist would feel that way.

Using your theory then who is most malicious Liberals or ISIS?

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis
He sure as hell gets his acolytes to behave the same way that Nazis did:
The parallels of the two are quite similar in most aspects except military service and time in jail.

Though Trump expresses sickening affection for murderous dictators, and though he practically begs to be Godwinned, our constitution and our courts and the media spotlight which is continually shining on him will stop him from ever coming close to genocide.
He may severely traumatize children. He may inspire a new generation of uber-violent gangs with a grudge against the U.S. government. He may hasten the decline of the health of the planet and indirectly cause deaths in that manner, possibly even more deaths than happened in the the Holocaust. But, no, we should not minimize what Hitler did by suggesting that Trump is worse than Hitler.
I think what most people who Godwin the man identify with is the fact that the POTENTIAL is there, and not whether or not he IS, at this time, the equal OF. No, of course he's not the equal of Hitler, but he appears to be in the process of securing similar powers, he appears to harbor similar hostilities, he appears to be inspiring millions with the desire to commit unspeakable evil at his command, he appears to see himself as equally infallible and equally omnipotent, he appears to desire a lifetime post...and lastly, he appears to harbor the same illusion that he is above the law.
And it's documented that he admires Hitler.
By the way, the Constitution is toast, he has proven that, and so have members of Congress, the courts are increasingly under his thumb and almost a third of Americans would cheerfully kill members of the press outright if he asked them to. They don't believe anything from the media unless HE SAYS it's true.
So okay, Trump isn't Hitler. Are we to just wait and see if he tries to actually BECOME Hitler?
I am probably as alarmed as you are about Trump. About the number of people who think he is a good president. About how he is othering the vulnerable and priming his followers to think they are subhuman. About how Trump is giving us an active case study in how ordinary human beings can take those first steps in the direction of becoming monsters. Of course we need to be vigilant, and if needed hopefully some among us will be brave enough to do very drastic things to save the nation from Trump's impulses.
But I answered the question posed in the OP. So please don't suggest that I don't see what a danger Trump is to the nation just because I answered the actual question which was asked.

You have every right to say that Hitler was more malicious than Trump. But using either man’s victims to stifle discussion is out of bounds.
The best Trump to Hitler example is calling anti-fascists terrorism.
Dude, seriously? Trump compared to HITLER? :roll:
