In many ways.
Hitler was a decorated war veteran who felt betrayed by the armistice and subsequent occupation and crushing of Germany (even though he was Austrian).

Trum never served, iand his country has never been occupied.

Hitler lived through the violent upheavals in Germany post WWI when the complete breakdown of law and order occurred and then the crushing poverty imposed by the allies (notably France). He blamed the Jewish banking interests for the economic turmoil that engulfed Germany and tapped into the pan European anti Semitism that was present to give a visible target of who was responsible for all the woes plaguing Germany
Trump lived through the Sept 11 attack. He inherited his wealth and made and lost several fortunes over his career. In effect he was "too big to fail" so the banks extended him credit and to his favour he always managed to come out on top. He uses the inherent racism in American society to attack Hispanics and more recently Moslems as those responsible for dragging down America.
Hitler was an accomplished orator who could speak (literally) for hours while holding his audience spellbound and enthralled
Trump is a loud and obnoxious speaker who loses his audience after maybe 20 minutes
Hitler was not shy about using force (Brownshirts) against his opponents and led an attempt to overthrow the government (Beer hall Pustch)
Trump has not used force against his opponents and has no private army

Hitler surrounded himself with people who were seen as responsible, heros and intelligent (e.g. Goering, Speer) He was virulently anti communist and extremely patriotic
Trump is an avowed capitalist and hence anti anything that smacks of communism or socialism. He is very anti union but contradictorily supports American workers trying to preserve their jobs
