Dieser Beitrag verfolgt den Verlauf dieser Debatte und bewertet ihre Ergebnisse von ihren Anfängen bis heute. Im Gegensatz dazu hat eine zweite Gruppe diesen Vergleich zurückgewiesen und Analogien zu Trump bei anderen historischen Gestalten aus der Geschichte Europas und der Vereinigten Staaten gesucht.
Eine Gruppe hat in dieser Debatte verfochten, dass der Aufstieg Trumps besorgniserregende Ähnlichkeit mit dem europäischen Faschismus der Zwischenkriegszeit aufweise, insbesondere mit der nationalsozialistischen Bewegung Adolf Hitlers. Damit haben sie eine breitere Debatte darüber angestoßen, ob die nationalsozialistische Vergangenheit helfen kann, die US-amerikanische Gegenwart zu deuten. Seitdem Donald Trump im Juni 2015 seine Bewerbung um das US-Präsidentenamt bekanntgab, haben Journalist*innen, Wissenschaftler*innen und andere Kommentator*innen in den Vereinigten Staaten versucht, seinen politischen Erfolg mit Hilfe historischer Analogien zu erklären. By examining the merits and drawbacks of Nazi analogies in present-day popular discourse, the article recommends that scholars draw on both the German and American historical experience in order to best assess the United States's present political movement. It shows that historians of Germany have played a prominent role in helping to make sense of Trump, but notes that their use of Nazi analogies may be distorting, rather than deepening, our understanding of contemporary political trends. This article surveys the course, and assesses the results, of the debate from its origins up to the present day. By contrast, a second group has rejected this comparison and sought analogies for Trump in other historical figures from European and US history. One group in the debate has contended that Trump's ascent bears a worrisome resemblance to interwar European fascism, especially the National Socialist movement of Adolf Hitler. In so doing, they have sparked a wider debate about whether the Nazi past helps to make sense of the US present. The Sanctuary Church quickly embraced Mr Trump after it came into existence in 2017, and in 2019 Sean Moon told Vice News that he believed God was using the former president to scrub the world of "political Satanism" and to restore the world to its original state of paradise as described in the Bible.Ever since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the US presidency in June 2015, journalists, scholars, and other commentators in the United States have attempted to explain his political success with the aid of historical analogies. “We are in the death of America right now, and that’s why, of course, God is allowing for our expansion.” troops and Chi-Com Chinese military to come in and destroy and kill all gun owners, Christians, and any opposition, i.e., Trump supporters,” he said in a sermon. “The internationalist Marxist globalists are trying to start a civil war here, so that they can bring in the U.N. In Sean Moon's sermons – which are called King's Reports and are live-streamed on Twitch – he has called for his members to prepare for war and issued dark warnings that the federal government and the "globalists" were out to get to them. While the church has not made any overt threats, its ideology has become increasingly militant in recent years.
