Why Is Trump Hitler Hashtag Trending On X?

In this, he got a minor injury and received support from crypto leaders like Elon Musk and Justin Sun. The second one was just recently when he was golfing at the Trump International Golf Club and is totally fine.
However, the Trump Hitler hashtag began to trend on the X, gaining 61K posts. Despite the serious situation, many have questioned why it is Trump only who is getting targeted when the rest of the candidates have faced no similar instances. Whereas the rest have taken the platform to show the similarities between the beliefs of Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump, calling how he is going to destroy America.

This comparison has been going on for a long among haters and Biden-Harris supporters. It is mainly because of some of the common remarks and beliefs people have found common between these two. Some of the often-made links are Trump and Hitler’s perception of anti-immigrant policies and white supremacist views.
Many X users have blamed Donald Trump himself for neglecting his safety and living on Golf courses. Meanwhile, one X user, Michael, presented the details of how Trump’s decision during his presidency has led to these assassination attempts. As per him, the assassin, Ryan Routh, was a white male Republican and had voted for Trump in 2016. He supported the Haley/ Vuvek ticket in 2024 and has a long history of mental illness. However, he could still buy a gun, as Trump had allowed the mentally ill to buy assault guns in 2018.
