Generally, at Webmasterworld, we keep "politics" out of the equation, remarking only on policies, etc, which might impact the webmaster, the user, or the web.

In any event, this is etched in stone, so to speak, G is involved in presidential politics:

Google and Fox TV Invite Anti-Trump Muslim Advocate to Join Next GOP TV-Debate

Fox News and Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate — including a Muslim advocate who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler.

Google's been in politics for a long time. Many of their brib sorry lobbying exploits leave a nasty taste in the mouth. Seems to us in the UK that every time Donald Trump says something 'outrageous' his popularity goes up so it may not be a good idea for them to prod him like that.

Anyone who compares him to Hitler obviously hasn't got a clue about reality. Dunno how many people Trump has killed - none, as far as I know - but Hitler was responsible for tens of millions of dreadful deaths and unimaginable terror and destruction. Silly advocate.

but Hitler was responsible for tens of millions of dreadful deaths and unimaginable terror and destruction.

AFTER he came to power.
For the comparison to be accurate all Trump would need to be doing at the moment is actively organising gangs of thugs to physically attack Muslims and supporters of his political opponents.

The comparison still doesn't hold but it helps if it is rubbished for the right reasons.
