If Hitler went thru a time warp and came back as Trump...

...wouldn’t he be doing flyovers with death ray equipped UFO’s to ethnically cleanse the US of A for the white supremacist Nazis instead of trading verbal insults on Twitter with all these various groups of race-baiters on the Left?
I mean, c’mon, who’s in charge of the CIA/FBI/Military Industrial Complex if it’s not him?

Hitler was smarter than Trump. Like you said, Trump is the idiot who keeps trading insults with the "race baiters" on Twitter.

I am also interested. Maybe he thinks Hitler was underappreciated and misunderstood? Memphis can explain himself though.

You don’t know who Hitler was or why he took power to change his country.
I do, I actually read Mein Kampf back in college.
Here's a pretty good 1-page PDF summary about what Hitler actually believed:
https://www.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%206644.pdf
As far as the rest of his ideology, Hitler was basically far-right leaning - ultra-nationalistic, rigid, militaristic, beloved of pseudo-science and industrialism - but he sprinkled in some odd socialist flavoring mostly to sell what he was pushing. Like: did you know the word Volkwagen means "People's Car?" The idea was that every (white) German would get their very own VW, hence the first appearance of the VW Bug.
This in turn leads folks to argue whether or not Hitler was an ultra-right-wing-leaning hyper-reactionary or a militant left-leaning socialist...at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Extremists on either end of the spectrum all start looking a lot alike, and whether you've got a government of ultra-right-wing nationalists or ultra-left-wing communists, you're going to get a lot of busted heads from anyone who opens their mouth to disagree with them, and a lot of dead people before the government is finally put down.
The real interesting part is that Hitler learned his lesson from the failed coup that got him locked up; he created an alternate government within the Nazi Party that was ready to roll from Minute 1, which is why the Nazis hit the ground with such dizzying speed when they finally actually won an election. He just literally switched governments overnight, and it was off to the races before anyone domestic even had a chance to protest what he was doing.
I don't think even Trump's most ardent supporters would argue that Trump is remotely that organized.

Rise and Fall tells the story better. Get back to me when you read it and understand how it all happened

I actually had that one on the real dusty part of bookshelf - hardcover! - until two months ago when I moved. You're talking Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by (William, I think) Shirer? I read it a couple times over the years. Dry, dry, dry, but about 1200 or so pages (I'm probably exaggerating, but not by much) and researched to the nth.
It was...fascinating, to say the least.

I majored in history. What would you like to know grasshopper?
Oh wait, you think Hitler "took power to change his country"?
Read Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer and get back to me.
Why does the idea that Hitler was 'misunderstood' seem so right for you?
