Angela Merkel rival Martin Schulz says "will never be like Trump."

Germany's Social Democrat Martin Schulz , who is running against current Chancellor Angela Merkel, vows that the "Trump approach will never be [my] approach." 

In the same story (the previous link) when asked if "Trump is a danger to democracy,"  Schulz replies, "Very much so."

Schulz: would not govern like Trump.

Then again...there is previous Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's 2003 comment that Schulz would make a "perfect" Nazi prison guard in a film.

And British Member of Parliament Godfrey Bloom...basically...called Schulz "Hitler."  

Godfrey Bloom said "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer" - one people, one empire, one leader - as Martin Schulz was making a speech.

He was ordered out of the chamber and will face disciplinary measures.

Mr Bloom told the BBC he stood by his words, describing the leader of the socialist group in the parliament, as "a national socialist".

[UKIP leader Nigel Farage], stated, "Mr Schulz regularly calls people fascists and when he is called one the member in question is asked to leave. That isn't right. That isn't fair."

With Merkel seeking a fourth term, it will be fun watching the German election.

I wonder if Germany's election will be hacked by the Russians?
