As the legal and financial nooses get tighter and tighter around Donald Trump’s treasonous neck, his already disgusting and dangerous rhetoric has gotten even worse.

Appearing on the right-wing propaganda website, The National Pulse, fraudster Trump, currently charged with 91 felonies, and with possibly more to come, took a page out of Hitler's Mein Kampf book, literally:

TRUMP: You can go to a banana republic and pick the worst one and you’re not gonna see what we’re witnessing now. Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions, insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have.

The New York Times noted that in Mein Kampf, Hitler repeatedly used the words “poison” and “blood” to demonize non-Aryans. For example, he linked “the poison which has invaded the national body” to an “influx of foreign blood.”

It has long been known that Trump is a Hitler admirer. So, I think we can safely conclude Trump’s Hitler rhetoric is no accident.

More from The Times:

Mr. Trump has long had a Hitler fascination, according to biographers, news articles and books about his presidency. His bedside table once held a copy of Hitler speeches called “My New Order,” a gift from a friend, which Ivana Trump, his first wife, said she had seen him occasionally leafing through.

During a trip to France in 2018, Mr. Trump told his chief of staff John F. Kelly, “Well, Hitler did a lot of good things,” according to the journalist Michael C. Bender, now a New York Times reporter, in a 2021 book on the Trump presidency. Mr. Trump denied making the remark.

According to another book on the Trump presidency, by Peter Baker, another New York Times reporter, and Susan Glasser, the former president also complained to Mr. Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, that American generals didn’t treat him as loyally as Hitler’s generals had. “Why can’t you be like the German generals” of the Third Reich, he demanded, the authors wrote.

Yes, Trump seems desperate as his financial holdings and his standing as a business tycoon are on the verge of crumbling. But a trapped animal is a dangerous one and so is he.
