Here’s a copy and paste from the 1933 article:
Rise in Stocks Reflects Confidence He Will Not Disrupt Nation’s Affairs
Berlin is settling down to pass judgment on political developments. Politicians, economists and bankers declare there is usually wide discrepancy between the speeches of opposition politicians and the actions of the group when it gains power.
Consequently, it is not believed that Hitler will accomplish a change in the constitution or that [Reich Minister of Economics Alfred] Hugenberg will bring about a general reduction of interest rates. The government wants to obtain an adjournment of the Reichstag for several months, but it is questionable whether the Centre [Party] will approve of such action.
Sure yeah.
The point here is that Hitler is cleraly the most famous crazy dictator. And now, almost 100 years later, it’s looking like this Trump fellow is going to be remember quite a lot as well. I don’t know about you, but I’m generally slightly afraid, and I’m not even American.

He’s the Big Historical National Enemy. The one that we famously ground into humiliating defeat.

Trump didn’t pattern his campaign after Hitler. He patterned it after Eisenhower, Nixon, and Reagan.

Oh his campaign was more like former American presidents, instead of one of a German Chancellor from the 1930’s? Huh. This day is full of surprises.
His presidency was more like these prior administrations as well.
Trump is not a unique aberration in American politics. He’s a continuation of a historical trend.
