This is right as far as it goes. He of course had an authoritarian mindset and contempt for democracy and democratic norms. The analogy made to the fascism of the 1930s may be highly imperfect (it is), but the fact that there are any points of similarity is bad enough, and there is plenty of potential for world-historic wickedness and disaster without being just like Hitler.
(Thanks to David Lobina for the pointer.)
