Hitler didn't make that policy -- the US State Department did.
I would not call out FDR for that policy it was a pragmatic decision based on USA prejudice, Congress' support and the US European Allies needs -- where the money would go --guns and tools of war or refugee relief.
Trump might be called "Hitler lite". Trumps calls to ''take them and their families out too (paraphrased)'' is more election rhetoric to attract more extremist and reactionary voters.
However, Trump's xenophobia and nationalistic rhetoric is a mirror of ''Hitler -- the early years.'' Hitler didn't start out a mass murderer but by persecuting minorities in Germany, and later exterminating them, these Nazi policies became Hitler's path to rallying support among the ''Angry Ayran White Man" in Nazi Germany.
Hitler did offer Germany's Jews to the world as refugees and had a bizarre plan to deport the German Jews to Madagascar. When the world said no to the refugees, it became Hitler's policy to confiscate all the wealth and property of the German Jews, commit them, and the Jews of Nazi conquered Europe, with the collaboration of certain anti-Semitic subjugated locals, to ghettos and then to slave labor concentration-extermination camps, using that confiscated wealth to wage war to expand the territory of Nazi Germany. It got to the point where the Jews gold teeth and hair was considered Nazi treasure too. The easiest way to get that was to mass-murder them.
The Islamic Terrorist State confiscates the wealth as well as proposing to (or actually) taking the body parts of the persons executed in Allah's name. That is more Hitler like mass-murder motivation and a justified comparison.
So, if Trump is Hitler-lite ISIS is Hitler real threat. Elect Trump there will be trade wars and perhaps a real war in the Middle East. The last war there, the "Little Bush War" cost a few trillion dollars and has gone on for 12 years now. Maybe, Saddam was right -- the USA would have the Vietnam War reloaded -- there are many parallels seen now.
With Trump's record in Bankruptcy Court, Trump's aversion to deficit spending is in serious doubt. His mantra of "Trump will make America great again" mirrors Hitler's promise to make Germany great again -- both claims were made in political rhetoric to gain the votes to assume power-- so who really knows?
