The Atlantic compared Trump to Hitler - NYP
⏺On Friday, The Atlantic published an article titled "Trump Speaks Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini," where author Anne Applebaum claims that the Republican brought "dehumanizing language" into American politics.
⏺The article received sharp criticism from journalists, politicians, and public figures. Glenn Greenwald responded, saying that after eight years of failing to insult Trump with various comparisons, Applebaum could only resort to comparing him to all dictators at once.
⏺Meanwhile, The Atlantic's editor Scott Stossel praised Applebaum, stating that she is well-versed in the history of authoritarian regimes, and that people should take notice when such an authoritative person compares Trump to the most brutal dictators.
⏺In her article on Trump, the author calls the Republican's rhetoric "ugly and repulsive," noting that the terms used by Trump were once employed by Adolf Hitler.
