Even the historical record is subtweeting Trump: Hitler made Chancellor of Germany on Jan. 31. 1933

From the NY Times On This Day:







Found via this tweet from Brendan Nyhan:




wow, even the historical record is subtweeting Trump



The tweet directly below that on that page is Nyhan's retweet of someone commenting on the "but don't worry, it''s okay" tone of the Times' coverage in 1933.

If you right-click on that image link above to look at an image of the NYT front page from 1/31/1933, you'll see that the full headline with subheads is

HITLER MADE CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY
BUT COALITION CABINET LIMITS POWER;
CENTRISTS HOLD BALANCE IN REICHSTAG
