President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign accused former President Donald Trump of “parroting” Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, likening statements of the two in a highly inflammatory social media post Wednesday featuring images of both side by side.
The official Biden-Harris rapid response X (formerly Twitter) account posted the graphic, which compares statements of Hitler with Trump’s, along with the caption “Trump parrots Hitler.”

“This is not a coincidence,” the account wrote.
The previous day, Biden claimed the rhetoric Trump uses “reminds us of the language coming out of Germany in the ‘30s.”
Hours earlier, attorney-author Mike Godwin, who coined “Godwin’s Law,” asserted that it is perfectly okay to compare the former president to the Nazi leader.

On Monday, historian Douglas Brinkley said Trump “has been dabbling in Adolf Hitler his whole life.”
Meanwhile, twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton fueled fears that Trump will act as a “dictator” if he succeeds in defeating President Biden to take the White House in 2025.
On December 14, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the former president was “echoing” Hitler; and last month, MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Trump was “even more dangerous” than both Mussolini and Hitler.
