You’ve seen them all. “Quiz: Did Donald Trump say this Outrageous quote or no?” (Washington Post) “Trump or Colbert” (US Magazine) “Who said it: Donald Trump or Lucille Bluth?” (Buzzfeed) Well, put your thinking caps back on, because we have one more coming your way.
With all the media attention dedicated to Donald Trump’s recent antics, we’ve decided to get one step ahead of the internet hive-mind and make the inevitable connection to one of the greatest sources of evil in human history, literally Adolf Hitler!
To that end, it’s time for the ultimate challenge: Who said it, Donald Trump or Literally Hitler? Test your knowledge of current events by correctly picking who said each of these zany remarks: the real estate mogul and star of The Apprentice who is currently the Republican front-runner for the presidential nomination, or literally the führer of the Thousand-Year Reich! Remember, all of these quotes are 100% genuine and not made up for comedic effect. Even though we wish it were otherwise.
