Any idea why Hitler DECLARED WAR ON THE U.S.? 

You seem to have all the answers to questions no one is asking; perhaps you can share the history you already know and answer the question asked. I doubt you will, but who knows. 

So now you are asking the question without the tacked on options. Suddenly "quite simple" with no reference to world policing.

But let's pretend you were just asking the "simple" version and no one has answered.

The reasons Hitler gave for the declaration were-- 

The US was supplying the UK, lending it money and ships, and using destroyers to protect US shipping to Europe against German submarines. He also complained of the US seizing German ships--perhaps a reference to ONE SHIP, a merchant flying the US flag, for violating the espionage act.

Trump-like, he blamed the Americans for defending their own convoys against German Wolfpacks, exaggerated defensive threats, wholly imagined others, portrayed Roosevelt as dependent upon his wife, while emphasizing the amazing world historical importance of his own term in office and his decision to declare war--HUGE! Had Gallup been up and running in Germany then he'd have quoted the polls in support of his actions.

In Hitler's view, the US was certainly "world policing." However, no one since has agreed with that except . . . . wait. . . what prompted you to link Hitler and Saddam via the notion of the US as "world police"? Have you been reading some interesting websites about what "really" happened in WW2?
