Former Bush and Reagan Administration Official: Hitler Was Better Person Than Trump
On Tuesday, a former senior policy analyst in the Reagan administration and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy at the Treasury Department in the Bush 41 White House essentially stated that Adolf Hitler was a better person than President Trump.
Key differences between Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler–Hitler served honorably in the military, Trump didn't; Hitler was faithful to his wife, Trump cheated on all his wives; Hitler wrote a book, Trump's were all ghostwritten.

Anyone who really thinks a comparison between Trump and Hitler is absurd should watch "Triumph of the Will" and then watch one of Trump's MAGA rallies. His rallies are easy to find. Fox runs them uncut. https://t.co/SMhXzORrR1

Bartlett has a high opinion of himself; he wrote in The Washington Post in September 2017 that he helped “create the tax myth” that tax cuts stimulate economic growth. He wrote:
Four decades ago, while working for Rep. Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.), I had a hand in creating the Republican tax myth. Of course, it didn’t seem like a myth at that time — taxes were rising rapidly because of inflation and bracket creep, the top tax rate was 70 percent and the economy seemed trapped in stagflation with no way out. Tax cuts, at that time, were an appropriate remedy for the economy’s ills. By the time Ronald Reagan was president, Republican tax gospel went something like this:
The tax system has an enormously powerful effect on economic growth and employment. High taxes and tax rates were largely responsible for stagflation in the 1970s. Reagan’s 1981 tax cut, which was based a bill, co-sponsored by Kemp and Sen. William Roth (R-Del.), that I helped design, unleashed the American economy and led to an abundance of growth.
