The liberal media has gone blue in the face calling Donald Trump a Nazi, worse than Hitler, and a dictator nonstop for over 10 years now. You’d think that maybe they would’ve stopped after several assassination attempts against the President, but instead of toning it down, CNN cranked it right back up on Thursday’s broadcast of Erin Burnett OutFront, even suggesting Trump sees himself as such a figure. Burnett hosted fellow CNN commentator S.E. Cupp along with former Congressman and fire alarm enthusiast Jamaal Bowman to air out grievances against Trump. “I think Trump would rather be compared to [Hitler, Stalin, and Napoleon] than, like, a Lincoln or a Churchill,” Cupp said. “And I think that's very revealing about the kind of power, the kind of leader he wishes he could be.”     According to Cupp, a self-proclaimed conservative, Trump “wishes he were President of Russia, or Hungary, or North Korea, where he had unlimited powers and he wasn't hemmed in by the constrictions of, like, the Constitution.” There is no evidence that Trump would rather be the leader of any other country besides America, but Cupp and everyone else who entertains these kinds of comparisons need no evidence. Just saying it is enough, or they can cite long-debunked hoaxes, like the one Burnett brought up a second later: BURNETT: Well, it's - the time when they were talking about Hitler's generals-- CUPP: Yes. BURNETT: --and how they listened to Hitler. The “Hitler’s generals” hoax was disproven by several people who were in the room with Trump when that comment was allegedly made. It turned out to be completely made up by a disgruntled former advisor. But even though it proved false, it still remains in the Democratic media’s hands as a weapon to smear the President.  Trump, in an interview with New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, allegedly implied that he was more powerful than these dictators who “maintained power through fear.” The comments reportedly came while reading from correspondence from an associate. Bowman took that statement a mile further than Trump meant, drawing this conclusion about the President: I mean, this is Donald Trump, who, at the end of his first presidency, when he lost, pushed forward a big lie to the point where he incited an insurrection, an attack on the Capitol that I believe he wished was way more violent so that he could remain in power, and just completely besmirch and step on the Constitution and the norms in this country so he can actually lead as a dictator. The Democrats tried to prosecute Trump for inciting insurrection. They still cite January 6th, 2021 as one of the worst days in American history, far outpacing the violence of the BLM riots, the murder of Charlie Kirk, and all the other examples of recent left-wing political violence. And here, Bowman insists that Trump wished it “was way more violent so that he could remain in power.” With this kind of rhetoric coming from the majority of the mainstream media outlets every day, comparing Trump to the worst dictators in history and ascribing sinister motivations to him, it’s no surprise that several leftists have attempted to assassinate Trump over the past two years. And they’re probably not going to stop anytime soon. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront 6/18/26 7:21:23 p.m. Eastern (...) ERIN BURNETT: So, S.E., what do you make of the fact that Trump was in multiple ways comparing himself to these leaders? He wanted their names out there and was saying that he's more powerful. S.E. CUPP: Well, Trump is not - Trump is a lot of things, he's not a student of history. Students of history would not want to be compared to these guys. These were the bad guys in all of the history books, right? Hitler killed himself in a bunker rather than face the tribunal that awaited him. Stalin was poisoned by his own members of his own inner circle. Napoleon died in exile. Like, you don't want to be these guys.  But I think Trump would rather be compared to these guys than like a Lincoln or a Churchill. And I think that's very revealing about the kind of power, the kind of leader he wishes he could be.  I don't think he wants to be President of this country. I think he wishes he were President of Russia, or Hungary, or North Korea, where he had unlimited powers, and he wasn't hemmed in by the constrictions of like - the Constitution. BURNETT: Well, it's - the time when they were talking about Hitler's generals-- CUPP: Yes. BURNETT: --and how they listened to Hitler. CUPP: Did anything - and he had a propaganda arm, I mean, all the things that Trump seems to want. BURNETT: I mean, Jamal, the authors write that Trump said that the leaders, quote, "Maintained power through fear" and that Trump then says to Maggie and Jonathan in an interview, 'Who would ever do a thing like that, right?'  I mean, what does this tell you about Trump? Again, the specific thing he brings up, right, that they maintain power through fear. JAMAAL BOWMAN: Yeah. I mean, this is Donald Trump, who, at the end of his first presidency, when he lost, pushed forward a big lie to the point where he incited an insurrection, an attack on the Capitol that I believe he wished was way more violent so that he could remain in power, and just completely besmirch and step on the Constitution and the norms in this country so he can actually lead as a dictator. He has always uplifted Putin, he has always uplifted dictators, both today and historical.  And so this is who he wants to be, but history will never remember him as powerfully as he wants history to remember him as.
