Donald Trump:
“illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”
““They let — I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country,”
Adolf Hitler:
The term “blood poisoning” was used by Hitler in his manifesto “Mein Kampf,” in which he criticized immigration and the mixing of races. “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” Hitler wrote.
If you don’t want to be compared to Hitler…..maybe don’t make comparable statements as Hitler using the exact same terms.
*shoulder shrug*
I don’t think Trump is a Nazi. I do think he is dog whistling to the racists and Nazis in his base when he does stupid crap like this.
It’s not a slip of the tongue “oops” moment. It’s intentional.
