During an hour-long interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais, Pope Francis gave his unneeded opinion on Donald Trump, comparing him to Hitler. That argument has been made so much over the course of this election that it doesn’t even mean anything anymore.
“Of course crises provoke fears and worries,” he said but added that for him “the example of populism in the European sense of the word is Germany in 1933.
“Germany… was looking for a leader, someone who would give her back her identity and there was a little man named Adolf Hitler who said ‘I can do it’.”
“Hitler did not steal power,” the pope said. “He was elected by his people and then he destroyed his people.”
The Germans at that time also wanted to protect themselves with “walls and barbed wire so that others cannot take away their identity,” he said.
This has become a habit for not just Americans it would seem. “We disagree with somebody! Let’s compare them to Hitler!” Ironically, the things Hitler did (not to be condoned) aren’t even close to how cruel Islamic Extremists are. So perhaps it’s time people began taking that into consideration.

Hard to believe this IDIOT is Pope.
Rename him Dope.
This Pope is Evil!
You are an out of touch fool
The hatefull comments only show how uninformed many of our citizens are.They state facts that are totally wrong and show a complete lack of understanding of anyone who differ from them. Isn’t that what a democracy is all about….our right to be different and more tolerant of the opposite point of view.
Is the Pope Catholic? Not this Pope.
Hitler por su ideología más se parece a sus amigotes como los Castros que a Trump.
No hope in the pope. Its catholic to include themselves in politics and traditions. Jane Ivory
I compare the Pope to Satan.
