Kimmel Weighed Trump And Hitler Comparisons In Brutal Way

Jimmy Kimmel somehow arrived at Donald TrumpThe former president’s defense has been accused of using Nazi terminology. Although, by the time the late-night host finished, Trump was more roast than warranted. Kimmel’s roundabout argument that the former president isn’t copying Hitler came addressing Joe BidenTrump’s reaction to Trump’s increasingly anti-Semitic rhetoric.

“Last night, Biden weighed in on the furor over Donald Trump’s recent comments promising to eradicate what he called the ‘vermin’ in our country, meaning anyone who opposes him. Kimmel joked. “Joe pointed out that vermin is a specific word with a specific meaning that echoes the language of Nazi Germany.”

Kimmel, however, isn’t entirely convinced that Trump is like Hitler, and the late-night host made a pretty convincing argument.

“I know a lot of people have been compare Trump to Hitler lately, but there are major differences between them,” Kimmel said. “For example, Hitler was married to a woman who loved him. »

After landing the zinger, Kimmel laid out his blunt argument about what he thinks Trump is actually doing.

“I understand why people believe Trump intentionally uses words that the Nazis used. I just don’t agree with that,” Kimmel said before abandoning his thesis. “To know what words the Nazis used, you should read, okay? You should have basic knowledge of history. Trump thinks Frederick Douglas is alive and doing incredible work. He thinks Lincoln invented the Town Car, okay? It doesn’t echo Nazi terminology. He invents everything on his own. And credit must be given where credit is due. »
