Although the pictures in the MT bluesky post do show compelling similarities, I don't have any pictures of what Hitler's ballrooms looked like, he redesigned the Chancellory and other buildings. So maybe Trump is following Hitler's playbook and Kremlin design because so much of the Third Reich's property was destroyed. Either way, he's cobbling together everything from the examples of other Authoritarians and Fascists.
