The people who mention Hitler when speaking of Trump are often the same people who thought Obama was such a wonderful president even though the Nobel Peace Prize winner set new records for continuous bombing of foreign countries, oversaw a disastrous foreign policy which let the middle east in a complete mess and left his own country more racially, socially and economically divided than when he took office.
If they are as wrong about Trump as they were about Obama the Donald will be one of the most popular US presidents ever, ranking alongside Washington, Lincoln and FDR.
Maybe they are, but that's an unwarranted assumption. The way things look at the moment, Donald will do a great deal more harm than any previous president.
PS Obama didn't achieve what he wanted because policy was dominated by the Republicans, of whom Donald is an arch ally.
