Article In Egyptian Daily: U.S. President Trump Acts Like Hitler To Impose His Control And Is A Threat To The World

Memri3 days ago
On June 29, 2025 the independent Egyptian daily Al-Masri Al-Yawm, owned by businessmen like Salah Diab and Naguib Sawiris, published an article titled "Is There a Resemblance between Trump and Hitler?", written by Ahmed Sherin Fawzy, a former governor of Egypt's Monufia governorate. The article claims that U.S. President Donald Trump and the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, are similar in their policies, marked by "arrogance," "intimidation" and use of "political pressure and bullying to achieve their aims." The only difference between them, Fawzy says, is that is that "Hitler was defeated and his rule ended in destruction, whereas Trump continues to seek to solidify his influence, posing an ongoing threat to the world." He concludes by wondering whether Trump will lead to another global conflict and whether the American people will "pay the price for Trump's arrogance and recklessness, just as the German people paid for Hitler's hubris."
It should be noted that, in the past few months, this daily published numerous cartoons presenting Trump as a Nazi and the world as a victim of his Nazi positions, such as the two cartoons below.[1]

The following is an English version of Fawzy's article posted June 30, 2025 in the online newspaper Egypt Independent.[2]
"Across different eras, there have been leaders who have arrogantly wielded their power, disregarding international laws and resorting to political pressure and bullying to achieve their aims. Among them, Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler share certain similarities in their aggressive policies, both domestically and internationally.
"Hitler relied on military force and direct threats to assert his control over European nations, aiming to create a 'Greater German Reich' through occupation. Trump, on the other hand, chooses instead to leverage military, economic, and political power to extort nations and assert American dominance, opting for these methods over direct military intervention—at least for now.
"Hitler exploited weaker nations, forcing them to finance his wars through imposed taxes and financial blackmail. Trump has used a similar approach with some countries, compelling them to inject billions of dollars into the U.S. economy,[3] which reflects his style of political and economic extortion. On top of that, Trump made statements about seizing the Panama Canal and renaming it the 'America Canal' [sic]. His racist policies toward Latin American countries have further caused significant friction. Even traditional U.S. allies like Canada, Mexico, and some European nations such as Denmark weren't spared from Trump's controversial decisions.
"Additionally, Hitler enacted forced displacement against minorities, compelling Jews and others to leave their lands through coercion or detention. Trump has adopted a similar concept with the Palestinians, proposing their forced relocation to Sinai and Jordan as part of his 'Deal of the Century' [sic]. However this plan faced strong rejection from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the Egyptian people, who viewed the forced displacement of Palestinians as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause and a threat to Egypt's national security.
"Furthermore, Hitler withdrew from the League of Nations, refusing to abide by international laws. Similarly, Trump pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Accord. He also utilized the veto power against U.N. Security Council resolutions that condemned his actions in the Middle East, including siding with Israel in its conflict with Iran to dismantle its nuclear program and realize the 'New Middle East' project.
"Hitler ignited World War II, leading to widespread devastation across Europe. Trump, meanwhile, has escalated crises in the Middle East through actions like moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, supporting Israeli settlements, imposing normalization on some Arab nations, and finally, escalating conflict with Iran – all of which have intensified regional disputes.
"Despite the differing circumstances, Trump's approach mirrors Hitler's in its use of intimidation of other nations, arrogance, and exploitation of power to serve his interests. This includes economic extortion of certain Arab countries, attempts at forced displacement of Palestinians, and imposing oppressive policies globally. The sole distinction is that Hitler was defeated and his rule ended in destruction, whereas Trump continues to seek to solidify his influence, posing an ongoing threat to the world.
"Finally, will Trump lead the world into a new global conflict? And will the American people pay the price for Trump's arrogance and recklessness, just as the German people paid for Hitler's hubris?"

Basra rally denounces Khor Abdullah agreement as betrayal

Shafaq News – Basra On Friday, hundreds of Iraqis protested outside the Kuwaiti consulate in Basra province to reject the Khor Abdullah maritime agreement, denouncing what they called a 'surrender of maritime sovereignty.' Ali al-Abbadi, a representative of the demonstrators, told Shafaq News Agency that the issue of the Khor Abdullah agreement and its implications for Iraq's maritime boundaries remains a point of contention between the government and the people. 'While the Iraqi public sees the deal as humiliating and a violation of the country's territory and waters, the government views it as an unavoidable reality due to UN Security Council Resolution 833 of 1993.' Al-Abbadi added that the Federal Supreme Court had settled the dispute in September 2023 by declaring the 2013 law ratifying the agreement unconstitutional. However, he noted that public outrage followed a statement by Faiq Zidan, head of Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council, who—after a visit to Kuwait—claimed the court had rejected the same challenge it had previously upheld, arguing it lacked constitutional or legal grounds. Earlier, a majority of Iraqi lawmakers voiced support for the Federal Supreme Court's decision to void the agreement. MP Amer Abdul-Jabbar told Shafaq News that 194 out of 329 parliamentarians had signed a petition addressed to the head of the court, endorsing the September 2023 ruling.

Al-Sistani urges Arab, Islamic nations to end Gaza tragedy

Shafaq News – Najaf/Gaza On Friday, Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, urged the international community—particularly Arab and Islamic nations—to act immediately to end what he described as a "major humanitarian tragedy" unfolding in Gaza under Israeli military operations. In a statement released by his office, al-Sistani condemned what he called the "brutal savagery" of the Israeli occupation, which he said was part of an ongoing effort to displace Palestinians from their homeland. "While such acts of cruelty may be expected from the occupying forces," the statement read, "what is expected from the countries of the world—especially Arab and Islamic nations—is to ensure this immense humanitarian disaster does not continue.' Urging these countries to intensify their efforts to put an end to it, the statement stressed them to 'do everything in their power to compel the occupying entity and its supporters to allow the urgent delivery of food and essential supplies to innocent civilians." Al-Sistani warned that the worsening famine in Gaza, vividly portrayed by media outlets, is too grave to ignore. "These horrifying scenes of widespread starvation should prevent any person of conscience from enjoying food or drink in peace," the statement concluded.

France's top court cancels Al-Assad arrest order

Shafaq News – Paris On Friday, France's highest court annulled an arrest warrant issued against Former Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, over his alleged role in the 2013 chemical attacks near Damascus. The Court of Cassation ruled that heads of state are immune from prosecution in foreign courts, even in cases involving alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. The original order, issued in November 2023, accused Al-Assad of complicity in the sarin gas attacks that killed more than 1,000 people in the towns of Adra and Douma, according to US intelligence assessments. Court President Christophe Soulard noted that although the original warrant is no longer valid due to Al-Assad's former status, new arrest orders could now be issued following his removal from power. Al-Assad was deposed in December 2024 and fled to Russia following a military takeover led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, who later assumed the role of Syria's transitional president.
