Former Democratic Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill declared Donald Trump was "more dangerous" than Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini on Tuesday during an interview on MSNBC.
MSNBC's Alicia Menendez asked McCaskill about Trump "stoking violence" around the country.
"A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler and the use of the terminology like ‘vermin’ and the drive that those men had towards autocracy and dictatorship," McCaskill responded.
"The difference, though, I think makes Donald Trump even more dangerous, and that is he has no philosophy he believes in. He is not trying to expand the boundaries of the United States of America," she continued.
"He is not trying to overcome a neighboring country like Putin is in Ukraine. He is not going for a grandiose scheme of international dominance. All he wants is to look in the mirror and see a guy who is president. All he cares about is selfish self-promotion. That’s the only philosophy he has," McCaskill said.
McCaskill is one of multiple Democrats to compare the former president to Hitler, the dictator leader of Nazi Germany, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Clinton, who joined the hosts of "The View" earlier this month, said that Trump would be "even worse" now if he were elected in 2024.
