President Trump is arrogant, crass, and reckless. Trump is not, however, a mass-murdering maniac. But that won’t stop retiring Sen. Jeff Flake from comparing the current president to the most evil man of the 20th century.

In particular and according to public excerpts, Flake plans to chastise Trump for calling the free press the enemy of the people, “words infamously spoken by Josef Stalin to describe his enemies.”
