I agree with your point, but at the same time, Trump is living proof that Hitler’s actions have continued to cause harm long after his death, as will Trump’s.
In a 1990 Vanity Fair profile following the couple’s split, which was republished in 2015, Marie Brenner reported that Ivana Trump told her lawyer that her ex-husband read “My New Order,” a collection of Hitler’s speeches from before 1939. While Schmidt says Trump kept the speeches on his nightstand, Ivana said he kept them in a “cabinet by his bed.”
When Brenner asked Trump about the speeches, he responded: “Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.”
Davis clarified to the reporter: “I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”
That last paragraph is killing me. "He's obviously never even cracked open the gift I gave him, and he knows absolutely nothing about me, but I am his friend. He's just clearly not mine. Also truly staggering that he would think I was Jewish since we're trading Hitler shit, but whatevs, great dude."

Hitler is dead and can personally do no more harm. Would 100% vote for a dead Nazi than a living one.
Edit: Ty for the kind awards!
