while Trump has a remarkable lack of human virtues and an even more remarkable set of character flaws, I don‘t think he‘s Hitler.

That doesn‘t mean, however, that certain historical events don‘t offer us a warning of the kind of thing we should watch out for. In particular, the Trump administration‘s move to shut America‘s doors to refugees and stop all entry from nationals of seven Muslim countries has me thinking more and more about the Reichstag fire. There will come a moment when something awful happens, and Americans need to be ready for the Trump administration‘s effort to exploit it.
