Donald Trump is facing criticism for repeatedly harnessing rhetoric once used by Adolf Hitler to argue that immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country."

    Accidentally doing a Hitler doesn’t really sound any better than doing it on purpose. Either way, we’ve seen this one before and the outcome was devastating.

      Exactly. In a way, it almost makes it even worse if he accidentally did it because that means it was an original thought from inside his head.

      Of course, I did also read that his first wife Ivana claimed Trump kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bed.

    Despite his claims he is a “very stable genius” Trump says he has no knowledge of a variety of very problematic groups and beliefs amongst his supporters.

    In the past, he has claimed ignorance to the Proud Boys, KKK grand wizard David Duke (he claimed he would “have to look at the group), and QAnon. Now, it would seem that Hitler has been added to this list.
