Image Comparing Hitler With Trump Posing With Bible Is Morphed

An image comparing US president Donald Trump with German dictator Adolf Hitler is edited. The photograph, a collage of both the leaders, shows President Trump posing with the Bible for a photo-op outside St John's Church after a press conference at the White House on June 1; Hitler can be seen holding what appears to be a hardbound black book in a similar pose, as he addresses a crowd mainly comprising of children.

Hitler's photograph has been edited to include the black book in his hand as a comparison with Trump.

Meanwhile the American president has been widely criticised for posing with a Bible for a photo-op after speaking about the importance of "law and order". On Monday, the American federal authorities applied tear gas to clear the Lafayette Square, an area within the President's Park, so that the president could pose for the photo-op. Demonstrators were staging protests against the brutal death of an Afro-American George Floyd, who was killed in custody by policemen in Minneapolis on May 25. This has triggered a massive outrage across the United States with thousands coming out to protest against racism in the country.

Netizens have slammed Trump and compared him with the Nazi leader after the photo-op.

One such tweet reads, "The Hitler I wonder whose bright idea was this to take this photo op? This had to be some cockamamie brainchild of the chief Moron himself, Trump. Nobody......and I mean NOBODY could be THAT STUPID" (sic.)
