Was Trump's victory his 'Springtime For Hitler?

Of all the Trump-Hitler analogies bandied about, the one which clicks for me is that Trump is simply reprising Mel Brooks 1968 masterpiece, 'The Producers'. Consider this. When Trump announced in June, 2015, many pundits believed he ran simply to build his Trump brand, with no serious intention of winning or governing. Now that his extensive revelations with Russia have come to light, some so stupendously stupid it's inconceivable they could hide them, that scenario makes sense. Trump wasn't careful about his Russian ties because he never expected to win, assuming he, and the connections, would be quickly forgotten. After losing badly, Russia would continue to lavish the Trump brand with business opportunities, and hide his Russian peccadilloes (sexual and otherwise). Trump, the real life counterpart of the washed-up, aging, fraudulent, corruptible, and greedy Max Bialystock of 'The Producers' (Brooks), who envisioned his offensive play glorifying Hitler as a sure failure, allowing him to abscond to Rio de Janeiro with the suckers' investments, sure they wouldn't seek compensation from a broke producer. In the Trump real life version, his racism, xenophobia, sexism, and general loutishness substituted for Bialystock's choice of Hitlermania to guarantee a failure, allowing a refurbished Trump brand to live on in endless splendor at Trump Tower of Mar-a-Lago.

But like the doomed Bialystock, Trump's was too smart by half, watching the victory march on Fox, akin to Bialystock getting drunk in a bar across from the theater as patrons rush in gushing about the glorious 'Producers' opening. In the Producters, Bialystock's success seals his fate and he's sent to prison. Trump's success may likewise seal his fate as his careless machinations with the Russkies are being revealed drip by torturous drip. Trump's 3:00 AM delusional tweets mimic Bialystock's lament “I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast...where did I go RIGHT???”

About the only difference between Trump's triumph and Brooks' is that Mel won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Trump's plagiarism may simply get The Donald a ticket to an impeachment trial.
