Is Donald Trump The New Hitler? Professor Compares Ex-President’s Language To Nazi Leader
Over the weekend, Donald Trump told a rally that immigrants “are poisoning the blood” of America.

The former president has been accused of parroting Adolf Hitler in rally speeches - but said that he had never read the Nazi dictator’s Mein Kampf.

TalkTV’s international presenter Maddie Hale speaks to professor of history at the University of Aberdeen Thomas Weber about whether Donald Trump is the new Hitler.

In a scenario where the United States comes under the rule of a dictator, the role of the Supreme Court would likely be diminished or altered significantly. Dictatorships typically concentrate power in the hands of one individual or a small group, often rendering other branches of government, including the judiciary, subservient to the ruler's will.

In some cases, dictators may maintain a facade of legality by keeping institutions like the judiciary intact but manipulate them to serve their interests. This could involve appointing loyal judges, passing laws that restrict the court's independence, or using executive authority to override judicial decisions.

However, if the dictatorship is particularly oppressive and disregards the rule of law entirely, the Supreme Court's role as an independent arbiter of constitutional principles may be entirely undermined. In such situations, the court may be marginalized, dissolved, or replaced with a judicial body subservient to the dictator's regime.

Ultimately, the fate of the Supreme Court in a dictatorship would depend on the specific circumstances, the level of resistance from within the legal system, and the dictator's willingness to maintain even a semblance of judicial independence.
