Ignoring the silly personal dig there it's clear there is sensible comparison between Boris and Hitler.
It has been pointed out though that both Boris and Trump are using media and people v parliament/Congress tropes to try and justify overriding or diminishing democratic checks and balances. In that sense they can be seen as taking leaves from the book of various regimes that later became full blown dictatorships.
