Hitler's Nazi Party became the largest elected party in the German Reichstag, leading to his appointment as chancellor in 1933. Following fresh elections won by his coalition, the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act, which began the process of transforming the Weimar Republic into Nazi Germany, a one-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of National Socialism. Hitler aimed to eliminate Jews from Germany and establish a new order to counter what he saw as the injustice of the post-World War I international order dominated by Britain and France.

Sholem Asch, wrote on the conditions in post-WWI Germany which brought Hitler to power. He showed the picture of Germany, what was wrong with Germany, what happened to Germany and why Hitler was created; Hitler's vitriolic beer hall speeches began attracting regular audiences. He became adept at using populist themes, including the use of scapegoats, who were blamed for people's economic hardships. Hitler used personal charisma and an understanding of crowd psychology to his advantage while speaking publicly. 

Donald Trump is just like Hitler. With slogans like 'Make America great again,' Trump will bring nothing but trouble and shame to the US.
