Comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler might actually be helping to improve Hitler’s image, according to David Duke.

“They might be rehabilitating that fellow with the mustache back there in Germany, because I saw a commercial against Donald Trump, a really vicious commercial,” the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan said on his radio show Monday, Right Wing Watch first reported on Wednesday.
Duke said the commercial compared “what Donald Trump said about preserving America and making America great again to Hitler in Germany preserving Germany and making Germany great again and free again and not beholden to these Communists on one side, politically who were trying to destroy their land and their freedom, and the Jewish capitalists on the other, who were ripping off the nation through the banking system.”
“We have the same thing going on here with Goldman Sachs,” Duke added. “And it was a commercial, I saw that this morning and I was amazed by that commercial. It was a commercial against Trump but I don’t think it’s having the effect that they want it to have.”
Duke has been singing praises for the Republican front-runner since the summer, when he called Trump’s candidacy a “great thing.” Since then, Trump has been asked to denounce Duke and white supremacist groups like the KKK, and his hesitancy to immediately do so caused backlash.
Trump denounced Duke, but Duke’s praises of Trump have continued on.
“This war that’s going on against Donald Trump is really a war going on against America, it’s a war going on against the European-American majority. The media has incited hatred and violence and repression of Donald Trump and the hundreds of thousands, the millions of people who support him,” Duke said on his radio show.
“If you’re a European person, the government is purposefully wiping you out and your families and your children and your future. They are purposefully transforming this country into a Third World nation,” he concluded.
