It’s almost like he’s intentionally doing exactly that:

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”

“I don’t remember,” I said.

“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)

He can still be stopped. Americans:

    As someone from and living in Washington too, the liberal parts really depend on where you live. That’s true for most states; cities tend to lean blue while rural tends to lean red. The liberal half of the state is the western side, the Seattle side. I’m from the eastern half. There’s a reason friends say I live in “West Idaho” and there was (has? Is?) a plan to absorb us and eastern Oregon into Idaho (the south of the north).

        There is the State of Lincoln movement to create a new state out of eastern WA and surrounding territories.

        There was also a Greater Idaho movement for absorbing some Oregon counties into Idaho.

        I imagine there’s some overlap.

      I grew up in the eastern half as well and they’ve talked about that merger for decades, seems it’s little more than another talking point to keep people angry and give them another thing to be complain about regarding all those godless communist child-eating liberal coasties
