Louis C.K. wants a conservative president, calls Donald Trump 'Hitler'
The anti-Trump diatribes are trickling in. After John Oliver delivered his magnum opus, Louis C.K. has submitted his via email newsletter. Coming out of hiding anytime soon, Jon Stewart?
"Please stop it with voting for Trump. It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler," he wrote. "And by that, I mean that we are being Germany in the 30s."

The comedian cautions voters that, while Trump may seem like a fun, real-talking guy to some people, he could still be very dangerous, "Do you think they saw the shit coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all."
Plus Trump and Hitler have both been subject to micropenis rumors, so there's that.
In a surprising twist, Louis C.K. actually expressed interest in seeing a conservative in the White House to reflect the American people. Just not that conservative.
And I'm not advocating for Hillary or Bernie. I like them both but frankly I wish the next president was a conservative only because we had Obama for eight years and we need balance. And not because I particularly enjoy the conservative agenda. I just think the government should reflect the people. And we are about 40 percent conservative and 40 percent liberal. When I was growing up and when I was a younger man, liberals and conservatives were friends with differences. They weren’t enemies. And it always made sense that everyone gets a president they like for a while and then hates the president for a while. But it only works if the conservatives put up a good candidate. A good smart conservative to face the liberal candidate so they can have a good argument and the country can decide which way to go this time.
Louis C.K. cautions that people who think Donald Trump represents anyone but Donald Trump are in for a rude awakening.
"Don't vote for Trump. He is not one of you. He is one of him," he writes. "Everything you have heard him say that you liked, if you look hard enough you will see that he one day said the exact opposite. He is playing you."
At the end of the email, C.K. acknowledges that Trump has captivating qualities and welcomes Trump to join him on television where he belongs. He also asks that you watch his new show, Horace and Pete.
