The thing is, it just doesn’t make sense. I think it’s uncontroversial to say Hitler’s skills in oration were a factor in the rise to power of that regime. But Trump? Trump is a horrible orator.
I don’t see similarities at all in terms of oration. Trump meanders through a speech, often switching subjects abruptly, leaving thoughts incomplete, or otherwise being entirely nonsensical.
That in itself is a strategy – I think people lacking formal education especially are susceptible to it and see it as sounding intelligent (“he’s so smart, the thoughts just keep flowing!”), but it is extremely un-Hitlerlike in terms of oration style.
Is it an actual strategy of Trump or does he just naturally meander like that? I kind of lead towards the latter, which means he’s probably gotten lucky by surrounding himself with stupid people for a very long time.
