After Mr Trump’s rally in New Hampshire, President Joe Biden’s campaign said his likely 2024 rival was “channeling his role models and “parroted Adolf Hitler”. Jennifer Mercieca, an historian of American political rhetoric and professor at Texas A&M University who wrote 2020’s Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump, warned Mr Trump “sees American democracy as a sham and he wants to convince his followers to see it that way too.” “Putin hates western values like democracy and the rule of law, so does Trump,” she told The Washington Post. Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor and one of Mr Trump’s rivals for the Republican nomination, called his latest remarks a “dog whistle” to his supporters. I could care less what language people use as long as we get it right.” Republican US Rep Tony Gonzales appeared to blame what he labeled the “open border crisis” on Mr Trump’s rhetoric.
