Well well, you seem to look on Hitler's early days immediately after WW I with some degree of understanding if not outright admiration.  I respectfully suggest that you do need to reread some of the history of Germany immediately after the war.  The party that Hitler eventually led was in NO way a part of the government of Bavaria.  The police and military in Bavaria were very right wing and had Hitler among others to spy on political groups they feared. The National Socialist German Workers Party (called the NAZI party for short) was a party Hitler spied on and in which he saw an opportunity as a vehicle to peddle his extremist opinions.  At the time it was a very small dissident group with mildly Socialist leanings and thuggish tendencies.  Hitler joined and, using his mesmerizing speaking ability, soon rose to the leadership at which time all leftist aspects of the party were purged and replaced with the extreme rightist and racist philosophy espoused by their new leader. It was all downhill from there.  

I do not think that Trump is an dictator wannabe like Hitler, or that a Trump presidency would lead to anything resembling the 3d Reich,  but if you follow Trump's campaign and his proposed policies it is undeniable there are some mild and a few not so mild parallels to the early days of the rise of Fascism in Italy, Spain and Germany and anybody that does not recognize them is either ignorant of history or has their head in the sand.
