Very true. But the little Corporal was a bit more shrewd, and politically savvy, than Trump is. Fortunately for us. If Trump was really skilled, we'd be doomed (just like the Weimar Republic).

On the other hand, Trump has the best propaganda arm the world has ever seen. Puts Goebbels to shame. The right wing media is truly the only reason we are facing this crisis in our democracy. A POS like Trump could never have gotten so far without the support of the lying right wing media and the timidity of mainstream media.

So, Trump can be 'unskilled' and a raving idiot, but he has a whole mediasphere working for him. And a lot of very powerful elitist oligarchs who see Putin's Russia as the model that will serve their interests most efficiently.
