Nothing surprising given how terrible Trump is, but nonetheless.

He also was present at a Ku Klux Klan demonstration in 1927.

    No Hitler did not likely copy Chaplin, he much more likely kept the “toothbrush” from his WWI army days, when it was common because it fit under a gas mask.

      He was known to be a Charlie Chaplin fan, there’s not proof to either side. It’s not like we can ask him or he let us know for sure. We can speculate though.

        And that’s what social media is all about - opinions in a vacuum based on minimal information and defended as if it were a matter of life and death.

          In my original comment I never stated it as a fact, I said likely, since we can’t know for sure.

          And are you trying to mock me for just defending my point when you attacked it? That’s… quite the interesting tactic.
