Donald Trump has heard it all at this point. But this may be the worst.
And a top Democrat was caught on camera calling Trump this disgusting name.
At a gathering dubbed the “No Kings Protest” outside Union Station in Washington, D.C., Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) delivered an unhinged speech, drawing a provocative comparison between President Donald Trump and one of history’s most infamous figures. “Donald Trump is America’s Hitler,” Swalwell declared, his words captured in a video shared widely on X.
On the day that a politician has her life taken by a deranged Democrat, maniac Eric Swalwell says President Trump is H*tler.

Swalwell didn’t stop there. He called for a surge of fearless journalism, urging the rise of “more independent-minded journalists who are not going to cave or fold to Donald Trump.” His remarks were heard in a video that was posted on X by Newsmax White House producer Marisela Ramirez. Swalwell also highlighted his own efforts to engage voters, noting, “I’m doing two townhalls a month in Republican districts.”
The protest, part of a wave of “two thousand rallies” across the country, carried a message: “No king in America, no king ever,” Swalwell proclaimed. He framed the event as a launchpad for Democratic momentum, eyeing victories in upcoming gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as the midterms. “We’re going to march with those small victories,” he said, rallying the crowd with a vision of sustained resistance.
Yet, Swalwell’s speech took a grim and paranoid turn as he warned of a challenging future. “Over the next few years,” he predicted, a lot of people will be “wrongly imprisoned or arrested.”
Accusing Trump of eroding personal liberties, he also stated: “But, what Donald Trump does not get is that while he might have the power to take away an individual’s freedom, he’ll never have the right to take away all of our voices.”
The rally was overshadowed by tragedy in Minnesota, where state Rep. Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband were brutally shot and k*lled in their home. Per Breitbart News, reports indicate a gunman, disguised as a police officer and driving a black SUV mocked up to resemble a police vehicle, carried out the attack.
The assailant also fired on responding officers before fleeing. Just an hour earlier, a state senator and his wife survived a similar shooting. In response, Minnesota State Patrol and Gov. Tim Walz (D) urged the public to avoid “No Kings” protests, leading some organizers to cancel events.
Why the “Hitler” Label Falls Flat
Swalwell’s comparison of Trump to Hitler, while attention-grabbing, has become a tired tactic that fails to resonate with many Americans. The Left’s repeated use of this loaded term dilutes its historical weight, turning a grave accusation into political noise. Not only is the comparison outright false, it’s also disrespectful to the victims of Hitler’s atrocities.
For millions, particularly those outside urban strongholds, the label feels like hyperbole, disconnected from their daily realities of economic pressures and cultural shifts.
Moreover, the strategy backfires by alienating moderates and independents who might otherwise engage with Democratic critiques. When Trump is painted as a cartoonish villain, it overshadows substantive policy discussions, leaving persuadable voters skeptical of the Left’s credibility.
The “Hitler” trope also risks numbing the public to genuine warnings about authoritarianism, as overuse erodes its moral urgency. Instead of galvanizing opposition, it entrenches tribal divides, with Trump’s supporters dismissing the charge as yet another partisan attack.
Worse still, this rhetoric can incite the very violence it claims to condemn. By framing Trump as an existential threat akin to a genocidal dictator, it stokes fear and anger among already polarized groups.
The tragic k*lling of Rep. Hortman and her husband, while not directly linked to Swalwell’s words, emphasizes the dangers of a heated climate where extreme language fuels unstable actors.
Such comparisons, rather than curbing authoritarianism, may embolden vigilante-style responses, as seen in the Minnesota attacks. The Left’s reliance on this tactic not only fails to sway hearts and minds but also sows seeds of unrest.
