The rise of Tramp, sorry Trump, reminds me of the rise of Hitler. The country was in shambles, a lot of people out of work, etc. Hitler came along and said he was going to change that, they put him in and some one else started a war to stop Hitler.

Ha. That's the most ludicrous thing I've seen on this forum in quite a while.
Hitler stripped people of their civil rights simply because they were subscribed to a different brand of socialism from his. He hunted down Social Democrats like my grandpappy who had to go underground for months to avoid arrest. They were mostly what you'd consider Blue Dog Democrats today. Trump is a lot closer to them than he is to Hitler by a mile. Lots of these men ended up in camps for years. Trump is a businessman who built enterprises that employ thousands of people. That's something that Hitler for all his political acumen never accomplished. (Although Schacht and the bankers provided him the finance to cut the German economy loose.) I can't think of two more different figures on the political stage.

You ain't seen nothing. Today a man in the U.S.of A. has a car and a TV & fridge at home and accounts himself a poor man. My other grandfather had two businesses and lost everything in the inflation. My dad's family had nothing to eat. My aunt, bless her heart she's gone now, stole a few potatoes from a corner store because there there was nothing in the larder at home. She caught a whipping and had to return them. My mom and her sisters lived in the countryside and they'd go to the river for the reeds that grew there. They cut them and flattened them and wove sandals out of them because no one had money for children's footwear. My mother never saw an automobile in the village until she was ten years old. It was a doctor's car.

Yes, but Hitler built a great war machine. Charles Lindbergh warned the U.S. that Germany was re-arming, but the U.S. would not listen. ;)
Hitler had in his hands perhaps the greatest concentration of technical, military and organizational talent on earth at the time. The bankers (many of them on Wall Street) were there to add that magic ingredient to make all of that work for him. He also created a political system where virtually everyone pulled on one string. That was his particular genius.
