Less Than Human: The Psychology Of Cruelty

Hearing Mr. Trump saying that ISIS leader died like a dog is not surprising in the context of the article above and also Trump´s policy to separate immigrant mothers from their children that was compared by several Americans to Nazi-like practices. The former Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke said the following: 
"President Trump, perhaps inspired by Goebbels and the propagandists of the Third Reich, seems to employ this tactic that the bigger the lie, the more obscene the injustice, the more dizzying the pace of this bizarre behavior, the less likely we are to be able to do something about it."
And even Academia followed because a search on Scopus for the words "Trump AND Nazi" in the title, abstract and key-words returns several dozens publications the most cited being "Nazism, neoliberalism, and the Trumpist challenge to democracy", the latest being "Fake news and propaganda: Trump's democratic America and Hitler's national socialist (Nazi) Germany" while the same search on Scholar Google returns a surprisingly high number of results
