30. There is a huge fallacy with this comparison.

CHamberlain may have been too timid. His lack of fortitude may have brought on WWII, but I have never seen any evidence that Chamberlain personally profited with his deals with Hitler, or was compensated in any way for selling out the people of England or Europe at large.

Trump, on the other hand is truly an agent of Putin's, setting US policy according to Putin's direction.
