Many observers have seen the obvious / not so obvious signs of Trump's true colors, without him making outright statements. Lately Trump has been treating his faithful followers to more explicit expressions, like recently when he referred to immigrants as "poisoning" the blood of our country .
Along with Trumps rhetoric calling those who oppose him "vermin", referring to immigrants as "poisoning" the blood of our country makes on wonder if Trump is lying about not having read Mein Kampf...of course it could be argued that Trump merely arrived at the same conclusions entirely on his own.
They’re destroying the blood of our country. That’s what they’re doing — they’re destroying our country,” Trump said Tuesday at an event in Waterloo, Iowa, echoing comments he made at a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday in which he said immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country.”
“I never read ‘Mein Kampf’” he told the audience in Iowa. “They said Hitler said that — in a much different way. No, they’re coming from all over the world — people all over the world. We have no idea — they could be healthy, they could be very unhealthy, they could bring in disease that’s going to catch on in our country. But they do bring in crime. … They’re destroying the blood of the country, they’re destroying the fabric of our country, and we’re going to have to get them out.”
The former president also received criticism from members of his own party.
In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who has endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee, said his party should discuss immigration policy “in terms of what it means to humanity.”
“Republicans generally — whether it’s Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump or anybody else — we should be talking about this in terms of what it means to humanity,” he said. “I don’t think we should be talking about this issue from a perspective of blood or whatever the president said, what I think we should be saying is there are human beings suffering.”
