>>Both were given power to rule under back then conditions/laws without winning 50% of the popular vote (to cite irrelevant parallells...). Following Machtergreifung was the election of 33 following Reichstag fire, where the previous voting pattern was disturbed by more SA activity and Hitler gained 10% up from previous vote, but still needed coalition partners.

Agreed- Hitler was part of a coalition, something that still happens all over the world to this day wherever proportional representation prevails. He became a dictator when the Reichstag passed his "Enabling Act" giving him the power to make laws alone. Ironically, the braking effect of coalition lawmaking was one of the arguments Hitler used to justify the need for his Enabling Order! This needed a 2/3 majority of Reichstag, not just a 50% majority, which was supposed to be a major hurdle against overreach. Certainly the electorate that had overwhelmingly voted against Hitler for president, cannot have dreamed that the Reichstag would make him dictator instead. I see far more dissimilarities than similarities when comparing to Trump, especially when you add in the violent protest and thuggery towards opposition voters which is 100% anti-Trump AFAICS.

If you're suggesting that Congress might grant Trump his own Enabling Order - then I can't see it. There's actually no need, since the US system relies on absolute majorities rather than consensus coalition whose inertia needs to be cut through in crisis. Congress has given the president authority to act in certain constrained areas only and seems unlikely to grant him powers they can exercise themselves even if the opposition does everything it can to obstruct and delay. The courts, as we are seeing, are there to exert braking on executive excess. The media is supposed to be a 4th estate of democracy, but they've rendered themselves irrelevant IMHO.
