You are conflating 2 different things. Putting criminals behind bars lawfully for treason and/or fraud is not a purge. Those dictators were killing people by the millions. Do you really think Trump would have people killed for wrongthink?
Both Stalin and Hitler used the courts to turn their political opponents into convicted criminals. These political opponents (or criminals, as you call them) were being convicted for treason. Therefor, they did in fact put criminals behind bars lawfully for treason. So, are you saying that Hitler and Stalin was not guilty of purging their political opponents? I don't agree with you.
And yes, I think that there is a chance that he would, if he could. He can't do it now, because he doesn't have unlimited power. Like Stalin, Trump is very paranoid and extremely vindictive. For example of how vindictive he is, why did he fire Yevgeny Vindman?
Don't forget that those were kangaroo courts. People were killed or sent to camps. Where are the camps? Re Vindman, you cannot expect to lie and get away with it, there are always consequences. Saying that it's vindictiveness is ridiculous.
Yes, of course those were kangaroo courts. The point stand, if Trump would purge members of the Supreme Court for voting against Trump's wishes (as in John Roberts), do you really expect the courts to be anything but kangaroo courts?
Also, I could argue that Trump lies all the time and gets away with it, but that is not the point. The point is that Trump fired Yevgeny Vindman, and as far as I know his only "crime" was being the brother of Alexander Vindman. That is a clear cut example of vindictiveness.
