He didn't feel the need to point that Hitler had similar popular support
(mostly from people who think like Cursitor Doom).

Hitler certainly managed to score mega-deaths, though John Larkin didn't 
feel the need to add him to his list.

Trump does has quite a lot in common with Hitler. The emphasis he puts 
on the size of his rallies is a bit of a give-away.
