Donald Trump’s closing message to voters during a campaign rally Wednesday in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, was to insist, “I’m not Hitler.” “For the past nine years, Kamala and her party have called us racists, bigots, fascists, deplorables, irredeemables, Nazis, and they’ve called me Hitler,” the former president said. Trump seemed perturbed about being linked to Nazis in recent weeks, which he blamed on Democrats, including his presidential rival, Kamala Harris, even though recent anecdotes about him praising Hitler and admiring Nazi generals came from his former White House chief of staff John Kelly.
In attempting to put the Nazi comparisons aside in hopes of winning the hearts and minds of voters, Trump told the rallygoers that his father said to “never use the word Nazi and never use the word Hitler,” then griped: “Now we’re called Nazis, and I’m called Hitler. I’m not Hitler.” Trump: "I'm not Hitler" pic.

And though the popular “Sure, Jan” meme wasn’t used extensively, most of the responses could be considered a variation of it.
