He wasn't a politician then, 

but it's possible that he reads political history and uses/learns from the past, 

and so was addressing others who do that.

For such people, the analogy is easy enough to make. 

Even before he was at war with the U.S., Hitler was the leader of a totalitarian society, who imprisoned political opposition and "undesirables" in a vast system of horrific concentration camps and murdered even members of his own party with impunity.

Kim is the leader of a contemporary totalitarian society, who imprisons all political opposition and "undesirables" in a vast system of horrific prison camps and murders even members of his own party (and family) with impunity. Perhaps the worst such in the world today (now that ISIS is defunct), and arguably worse than the Nazi regime in 1940. Both leaders were also a threat to liberal democratic allies. 

This is one reason why, during the Obama years, virtually all Conservative pundits voiced opposition to ANY negotiation with the guy to whom Trump now addresses love letters--"accomplishing what Obama and Biden could not."
