    It is really harmful because it is portraying Trump's presidency as akin to the Third Reich.

    I think this has a harmful message because it is comparing Donald trump to Hitler's, and trump hasn't even been in power for more than a couple weeks.

    I believe that this image is harmful as propaganda because it shows a very extreme view of what Trump's presidency may bring to America, while this sort of "Hitler America" is far-fetched.

    This is harmful because it depicts Trump's presidency similar to Hitler's rule.

    I think this leans on the side of harmful because despite that this is comedic propaganda, is displays a very negative and exaggerated version of his values.

    This is helpful because it shows you how similar trump and Hitler are. It shows you how similiar their minds Work and how they don't like people that are different from them.

    I think this is harmful because it compares trump to hitter. Although people have all different opinions about trump, he hasn't done anything to harm anyone.

    I think this is beneficial because it shows what people think trump will do with his power. Although the comparison is harmful, I think the message is being sent clearly, and it works to persuade people not to vote for him because of his ideas.

    I believe that this message is harmful because it is spreading unrest about our new president by comparing him to one of the worst dictators in history.

    This is harmful because the artist is trying to make us believe that Trump is Hitler. To put this into perspective, Hitler was a dictator, and he turned Germany into a fascist state that took totalitarian control over people's lives, eliminated political opposition, and committed one of the worst genocides in history. Although many don't like him, Trump is simply the newly-elected president of one of the most democratic countries in the world. The two are not similar in the slightest.

    This is harmful propaganda because it lacks decency and respect. By comparing someone to Hitler, you're just slandering them and you weaken your credibility.

    This piece of propaganda is pretty harmful. I think it just promotes more violence in our country, which is definitely not what we need. It further continues ethnic divides in our country that cause too many problems.

    Most others agreed with me that it was harmful. Not only does it represent our leader, but it also represents us as a nation, and not all of us behave so inappropriately.

    This is evidently a harmful piece of propaganda. It uses the device of attacking opponents and appealing to emotions. It displays Trump as a dictator even relating him to the Nazis by the symbol of the nation and the uniform the officers are wearing. This evokes strong sentiments of Nazi Germany with its cruel and unethical practices. It is harmful because it can show the wrong idea about a person by clearly showing bias and unrealistic occurrences.

    Comparing your president to Hitler is not right, now matter what your views are. In many foreign countries, doing this would get you in jail. This divides the country.

    No matter what your political views are, making obvious comparisons between a political leader to dictator can cause quite the controversy, even when the audience is opposed to said leader.

    I think it is more harmful because it can cause many people to be fearful of Donald Trump and it is causing people to want to go against him. I think it is bad to characterize him as Hitler.

    I think that this is not beneficial and it can even be seen as harmful because it could sway people to think a certain way that may not be the correct way to view Trump.

    The piece is too extreme and strikes fear into people, by demonstrating irrational thoughts about the future of Trump as president. It also panders to liberals.

    This propaganda can be good and bad. It’s good because it represents the hate towards different races shown in the United States. It can be bad because it does not accurately represent what is happening currently in the US.

    While Trump does have questionable policies when it comes to immigration, this cartoon is a bit extreme. It references Hitler and WWII. While the artist may support these beliefs, someone who is uneducated about the situation may be persuaded if they believe this is fact.

    I think that this shows what president trump portrays his ideas to be. He should be more careful about what he says and how he means it. Yes being proud of being an American is good but part of being American is the idea of accepting others. America was basically made of immigrants and this propaganda shows that if president trump keeps showing that his ideologies about immigrants than this is how people from around the world will portray America and it’s government.

    Some of what it is portraying true; however, claiming that Trump and Hitler are the same is excessive. I rated it as neutral because it is both beneficial and harmful. The image shows how religious and ethnic/racial are harmed and persecuted by the Trump administration so it is beneficial, but you cannot just compare someone you hate or dislike to Hitler that is extreme.
