Excellent read. I think where the comparisons to Hitler start and probably should end, is the tactical comparisons. Trump has mastered much of the same tactics which Hitler, and Goebbels especially, mastered. Trump wants the same dictatorial power, but I think he sees that as the end unto itself. He wants to use it to enrich himself and satisfy his extreme narcissism. I don’t think it is any deeper than that.

I agree. He's driven by some pathological need to dominate. Maybe some future biographer will unearth his Rosebud.
