Donald Trump claims rally immigrants are 'poisoning the blood' of America

Hindustan Times  

Former US President Donald Trump has once again used inflammatory and divisive language to attack immigrants and his political opponents. Former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally, Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023, in Durham, N.H. “They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America … but all over the world. Trump, who is facing 91 criminal charges, had previously used the same phrase in October, when he also called sections of American society he dislikes “vermin” and vowed to “root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”. “Trump also recently talked about, ‘The blood of America is being poisoned’ … Again, echoes the same phrases used in Nazi Germany,” Biden said at the time. His latest speech drew criticism from the journalist Mehdi Hasan, who said on Saturday, “Classic Trump- say something crazy outrageous, neo-Nazi-like and it gets headlines, creates outrage."
