    Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

    That’s not quite true. Hitler wasn’t an effective speaker when he started, knew it, and got a lot of coaching. From the beginning, when he was an Army snitch spying on the fascists, he was being groomed.

      Honestly, the two are complete opposites when it comes to style of speech: Hitler imparts certainty in the listener, and Trump causes utter confusion. The only similarity is that both are completely evil.

          His speeches sound like a grandpa getting more and more senile. I’m convinced a lot of his supporters have never listened to one in its entirety.
