The right-wing media personality called Trump a “dangerous man” during his appearance Sunday on ABC’s _This Week_ with host George Stephanopoulos. “We all look at Adolf Hitler in 1940\. We should look at Adolf Hitler in 1929,” Beck said. “He was a kind of a funny kind of character that said the things people were thinking. Where Donald Trump takes it, I have absolutely no idea. But Donald Trump is a dangerous man with the things that he has been saying.” Comedian Louis C.K. [made the same comparison](http://time.com/4248723/louis-ck-donald-trump-email-hitler-comparison/) on Saturday, calling Trump an “insane bigot” while urging voters to stop supporting him. “It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler,” he said. “And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the ’30s. Do you think they saw the s–t coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4248841/glenn-beck-donald-trump-hitler/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4248841/glenn-beck-donald-trump-hitler/"},"headline":"Glenn Beck Compares Donald Trump to Hitler","datePublished":"2016-03-06T16:49:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:18:50.011Z","description":"\"Donald Trump is a dangerous man with the things that he has been saying\"","url":"https://time.com/4248841/glenn-beck-donald-trump-hitler/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4248841/glenn-beck-donald-trump-hitler/","name":"Glenn Beck Compares Donald Trump to Hitler"}}]}] ```
