Godwin's Law invoked.
Trump is far and away nothing like Hitler. I think yer conflating your not liking a narcissist (Trump) with a full-fledged psychopath (Hitler).
Hitler was a malignant narcissist, similar to Trump, not a psychopath as such. Both are capable of monstrous acts though due to highly conditional empathy. SOme have said Hitler had "psychopathic narcissism" but neurologically I'd be confident both his and Trump's brain would reveal the same damaged areas under an MRI. Both had friends, lovers, Hitler was arguably better as he liked dogs, Trump hates animals. Hitler did not especially (more than many at the time) hate the Jews & other minorities, Trump did not hate Mexicans, they were just useful as scapegoats.

A narcissist is pretty similar but the damage is more diffuse, more difficult to read. A friend runs an MRI business and he is certain accurate MRI/PET diagnosis of strong narcissism will be a practical reality soon as resolution is getting way better.
