Whoa, Donald! Do you even know what the thumbs up gesture means in German? You stink at being Hitler!

WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) – After the failure of the Republican-controlled Congress to pass a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, a growing number of news agencies are publicly questioning whether President Trump is too incompetent to be a 21st century version of a 20th century fascist dictator.

CNN’s Michael D’Antonio expressed his dismay at recent developments.

“America has faced a lot of Hitlers – Bush, Reagan, Other Bush, Nixon, that one German guy whose name eludes me at the moment – but none of them has been as grossly incompetent at Hitlering as President Trump.”

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristoff echoed those sentiments.

“He’s had 10 weeks! Where are the purges? The cattle cars? The Reichstag fires? He hasn’t even grown a mustache yet. What kind of Hitler is he? An incompetent one, that’s what. Hitler? Heck, he’s barely even Mussolini.”

The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank summed up the feelings shared by many on the left.

“It’s been a long 8 years. I mean, who have we had to freak out about? Mitt Romney? He wouldn’t even swear if you dropped a bowling ball on his foot. Worst Hitler Ever. I mean, he was mean to a dog once, but it wasn’t even Jewish. My colleagues and I were thrilled when Trump won. For the first time in 8 years, both SNL skits and the Tonight Show monologues are funny again. Plus we figured we’d get famous protesting outside Trump’s inevitable racist death camps.”

“But Trump’s an even worse Hitler than Romney was,” lamented Milbank. “No brownshirts, no Kristallnacht… ripping on Trump feels almost pointless. Like kicking a puppy for not mastering calculus. Yeah, he’s got a combover like Hitler, but if bad hair were enough, we’d be on Merkel for having LimeCat head. At least Merkel’s German.”
