There are no nicknames for Hitler. We use his name to identify him in an attempt to never diminish or forget who and what he was and what he symbolizes today.
Using a nickname for Trump may be personally satisfying, even humorous, but it takes the edge off of his criminality and fails to accurately reflect who he is and what he stands for.
I mean no disrespect but if we are going to be successful in making Trump accountable for his crimes, now and in the years to come, we must identify and call him by his name in the same way we call Hitler by his name.
Hah, you are right. There's no limit to the blame to be heaped on Hitler and Trumpsky alike.
Here's a couple of refs, none very recent, that are valuable. If they differ from what I wrote, they're correct.
B Hett, Burning the Reichstag
I Kershaw, Hitler: Hubris & Nemesis
W Shirer, Rise & Fall of the 3rd Reich
" There's no limit to the blame to be heaped on Hitler and Trumpsky alike."
No shit.
Think about this:

ItтАЩs hard for me, Daria, it really is. I call him Fake45 for a reason. I cannot say his name as it sends chills.
Facing those chills is the courage that it takes to beat him and get rid of his negative influence
I think you may be right about that... what a mess this all is...
If you can get through Shirer, you are a better person than me.
Thank you, TPJ. Adding to my list:
