Yes, different ideas but similar means. Two guys who have nothing but contempt for democracy and rules.
And they are not so different: they both claimed to be anti-establishment, standing up for the little guy and they could clean the house. A big difference though, is that 45 is part of the establishment too. He has nothing in common with the little guy and cannot understand the daily concerns of an average American like you, because he lives in his own warped, made-up reality, feeding on conspiracy theories.
That's the thing that is scary about him: he doesn't have a sense of reality and is out of teach.
People should study History more, and analyze the characters of leaders more in depth. Other countries have gone through the same thing at different times, 45 is not unlike Duterte or Putin, people whom he praised but you know that. He just happens to evolve in a different political environment.
