Donald Trump is drawing more comparison to Adolf Hitler with conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck and actor Louis C.K. adding to the growing list of personalities who have likened the Republican presidential front-runner to the globally despised German dictator who sparked World War II.
Beck said Trump sounds a lot like Hitler did in 1929 in appealing to the fear and anger in the public, Newsmax reported.
Just like Trump today, Hitler "was the kind of funny kind of character that said the things people were thinking," Beck noted on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
He said Hitler was bent on world domination and killing Jews and other political enemies in concentration camps. He said Trump is echoing similar sentiments against Muslim immigrants and those from Mexico.
Where Trump takes his own rhetoric is anybody's guess, Beck said, "But Donald Trump is a dangerous man with the things he's been saying."
However, despite his concern about Trump, Beck is opposed to what he calls "game" being played by the Republican Party to keep Trump from getting the nomination.
"I'm against Donald Trump," he said. "But I'll tell you one thing, if he gets close enough, and the GOP tries to play games, I won't vote for Donald Trump ever, but I'll stand with his right, because the people have spoken."
For his part, comedian and actor Louis C.K. also likened Trump to Hitler in recent days, saying in an email to fans, "It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the '30s ... Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all."
Earlier, two former Mexican presidents—Felipe Calderon and Vicente Fox—also compared Trump to Hitler.
Calderon told reporters in Mexico City on Saturday that Trump's political rhetoric is "racist" and evocative of the German dictator—the same comparison made by Fox in an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN.
"He reminds me of Hitler," Fox told Cooper on Friday.
The stepsister of famous World War II diarist Anne Frank has also heavily criticised Trump for his racist policies, and has also compared him to Hitler.
In an essay published in Newsweek to mark the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, 86-year-old Eva Schloss said the controversial business tycoon is "acting like another Hitler."
"If Donald Trump becomes the next president of the U.S. it would be a complete disaster. I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism," Schloss said, as quoted by CNN.
She particularly assailed Trump for his policies towards immigrants from the Middle East, even going to the extent of banning all Muslim immigrants in the U.S. on the ground that some of them could be potential terrorists who could launch attacks on America.
