‘Doctor Strange’ Director Compares Trump to Hitler, Stalin, Mao
Scott Derrickson cites Netflix doc on tyrants before deleting damning post
The Netflix documentary series “How to Become a Tyrant” explores some of history’s biggest villains.
- Adolf Hitler.
- Saddam Hussein
- Joseph Stalin
- Idi Amin
- Muammar Gaddafi
Director Scott Derrikson thinks there’s another name that should grace that list.
President Donald Trump.
The director of “Doctor Strange,” “Sinister” and “The Black Phone” weighed in on the 2021 docuseries on X earlier today. He retweeted a post showing Trump describing China’s Xi Jinping as “brilliant,” a phrase taken out of context to suggest Trump wants to lead America in a similar fashion.
Derrickson didn’t stop there. He said Trump is following the dictators’ playbook “to the letter.”
If re-elected, Trump will follow in the footsteps of modern leaders like Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and China’s Xi Jinping, he wrote.
And then Derrickson had second thoughts. He deleted the post.
Perhaps he feared the blowback from MAGA Nation. Or, he realized this kind of unhinged rhetoric is suddenly frowned upon days after a failed assassination attempt on Trump.
Yet a short time later he shared a post with a strikingly similar message.
If anyone wants to see the Trump playbook, watch “How to become a Tyrant” on Netflix. It is so similar in every way to what has happened in this country, it is FRIGHTENING. I think it should be mandatory to watch it! The roadmap Trump is using is clear.

President Trump had four full years to embrace his inner Hitler.
No “lawfare”-style attacks on his political opponents. No wide-scale efforts to silence dissent on social media.
And, most importantly, no new wars. If only more western leaders could say the same.
Derrickson is far from alone in drawing the Trump-Hitler comparison. The list of Hollywood artists who have done the same is considerable, including:
- James Gunn
- Sarah Silverman
- Louis CK
- Ellen Barkin
- Robert De Niro
- Michael Moore
- Pedro Pascal
- Kirk Douglas
- John Cleese
Derrickson previously slammed Trump fans as racist, despite the candidate’s ability to expand the GOP’s outreach to people of color.
The democrats/left always accuse anyone who they deem to be a threat of what they themselves think, feel and do.
This is called projection.
Understand this concept and many things you are confused about regarding the left will be finally understood.
Then through their words and deeds, you will realize the left are sociopathic, emotionally immature, devoid of critical thought and prone to uncontrollable rage and violence as they have repeatedly and enthusiastically demonstrated throughout history.
This is who has surreptitiously managed to assume power in all institutions, stations and levels of western society.
Even the conservative right has been compromised by the left.
This is who have no other desire than to wield that power as a bludgeon over all and especially to those who would disagree with them.
To them, it is their unquestionably moral right to do so.
Why give these jackasses any notoriety?
But when you actually think about it, the comparisons are striking.
Hitler wore shoes. Trump wears shoes.
Hitler rode around in a car. Trump rides around in a car.
Hitler ate food. Trump eats food.
Hitler listened to music. Trump listens to music.
Coincidence? You be the judge.
Not how it works.
HAHAHA that there is funny I don’t care who you are!
Sharon Loeff is the embodiment of evil and hate. She clearly wanted Donald Trump dead. Scott Derrickson should be ashamed of himself for reposting that heartless monster’s post from Jan of 2023.
Tired of trash like this and I will vote for Trump in 2024. He is nothing like Hitler. I am not a racist, neither is DJT and the left is wrong about pretty much everything, (that is when they’re not wrong ON PURPOSE to manipulate their voting block).
MAGA 2024
It’s frustrating, isn’t it? slamming an entire group of people as racist … without evidence.
We have evidence Democrats are Hilter. Deposing Biden when he democratically won the nomination is fascist especially since the rich Elite donors have made the decisions. The Democrats are the former KKK. Biden eulogized the klansman Senator Robert Byrd.
I guess they are each others biggest fans. They referred to President George W. Bush as the same.
Mr. Derrikson is a talented director, but he has a lot to learn about the real world.
It boggles the mind how stupid your typical actor/actress is. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans think they are brilliant, so they hold great sway over citizens. Now, that’s scary.
The Democratic Party has demonstrated its anti-democracy tendencies by removing Biden who has already won the primaries to win the nomination, but he was asked to resign. Who exactly? The real Hilter is behind the curtain likely the elite donors who already want to deny funds to Biden. What a joke. The Democrats destroyed democracy to save it. Or actually to save fascism.
