Trump literally brags about studying Hitlers speeches. His father was a well known Nazi sympathizer.

Trump often uses Nazi rhetoric and sologans. The examples of these are extremely numerous and no other broadly supported American politician has been caught as often, all but assuring dog-whistling.

Neo-Nazis openly back Trump and are in his inner circle. They've been caught with swastika flags and tattoos, SS tattoos, 88 tattoos, often ending merchandise on Trump's own websites with $X.88, lifting their arms in a Sig Heil at rallies, etc etc etc etc.

Trump has been asked to condemn his Neo-Nazi supporters and their racial violence, and he refuses.

If it quacks like a Nazi, acts like a Nazi, and literally claims to be a Nazi- we should call it a Nazi.

And his refusal in the leadup to the 2020 election to denounce the Proud Boys.

"Stand Back and Stand By" isn't the kind of thing you say to a group you want nothing at all to do with.
