That's a fair point. Palantir is very well-positioned to be the IBM of Trumpism.

Am I meant to infer "do for Trump what IBM did for Hitler" from that?

Yes, though Trump is obviously not a carbon copy clone of Hitler.

Then there's Palantir. Even if Trump doesn't win, the "law and order" rhetoric is resonating with a lot of americans. Trump wants to ban muslims, put together a deportation force, bring back stop and frisk, more border control, nukes for everyone, boots on the ground to fight ISIS, more surveillance, more military spending. All of these would lead to more government contracts for Palantir.
