What Happens When You Read Hitler Quotes To People But Tell Them It's Trump

A few days ago, Donald Trump was trolled into re-tweeting a quote made by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, and everyone laughed and said 'Aha! I knew he was a fascist.'

Yet apparently, Trump had no idea who it was attributed to when he shared it.

"What difference does it make if it was Mussolini or somebody else?" he told NBC. "It's a very good quote."

Had anyone else said it, that reasoning could have been justified. But Trump's made too many far-right blunders to be so easily forgiven.

He infamously labelled Mexican immigrants "criminals" and "rapists", called for a complete ban on Muslim emigration to the US and more recently, refused to condemn the KKK, which - whatever way you try to swing it - fucking smacks of Nazism.

Now, YouTubers SoFlo have ran with this comparison and produced a social experiment entitled 'Would Donald Trump Support Hitler?' in which they pass off Adolf Hitler quotes as Trump's own.

Funny, but probably a bit more scary.
