Former president Donald Trump stated anti-immigrant remarks that resembled things that Adolf Hitler said about people of Jewish faith.
At a rally for his 2024 presidential campaign in New Hampshire, he stated that immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood’ of America. In Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ book, which is the foundation of Nazi ideology, similar points were made about blood poisoning being a threat to the Aryan race.
He also stated the same thing in a post on his right-wing social media site, Truth Social:
Additionally, last week he called his political opponents ‘vermin’, which echoed the rhetoric that Hitler used as well.
Later at that same rally in New Hampshire, Trump quoted President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation, saying “Vladimir Putin of Russia says that Biden’s—and this is a quote—politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy.”
All of this has caused many people to worry even more that Trump’s new presidential approach may be more dictatorial than before. Others say that these statements are just scare tactics and that it’s all just him playing the political game. Either way, these statements are further than he’s ever gone before, and highly controversial. This may cause many moderate and centrist voters to be swayed away from him.
The White House is now using all of this against the former president as a part of Biden’s own campaign. The Biden Administration as well as many other Democratic supporters have long called Trump and his administration ‘fascist and authoritarian’, and these statements make it really easy for them to paint him that way.
“Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” stated Biden-Harris 2024 campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa last Saturday.
