Im not gonna engage w the fashbot arguing with you, so ill instrad reply here to affirm that trumps use of “blood poisoning” is still justvas dehumanizing and fascist no matter what way they try to deny or obfuscate it.
Trump is quoting and agreeing with part of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf, a book entirely dedicated to fascism.
If you read the NBC article I linked above, you can compare the original from the text with Trump’s quote and see how similar they are.
Systematically discriminating against and causing harm to people based on their identity or race is fascism. You would be correct in saying that around the globe, many of the laws and actions around immigration today can be called fascistic.
The term “blood poisoning” was used by Hitler in his manifesto “Mein Kampf,” in which he criticized immigration and the mixing of races. “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” Hitler wrote.

“They let — I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in New Hampshire. “That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”
Trump then repeated the use of “poisoning” in a post on his social media website Truth Social, saying overnight in an all-caps post, that “illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”
These are literally completely dissimilar apart from the shared use of the term “blood poisoning”, which would be a translation from a german term for Mein Kampf surely?
I’m not defending either here, but “xyz is hitler/nazi” is literally said by everyone
These are fascist statements. Nazis called Jews these things as well, rounded them up, put them in camps, often separating parents from their children. The US is already rounding up migrants, putting them in detention camps, and separating parents from their children. Trump wishes to expand these programs, and Biden refuses to end them.
Project 2025 is undeniably fascist. They want to round up all (brown) immigrants because they have “bad blood”. That is textbook fascism.
Trump says immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’

I can’t see anything that backs up that ‘blood’ claim about, project 2025 except a claim by a critic of the project
If enforcing immigration laws is fascist I guess almost every nation on earth has been fascist for decades

Criminalizing the rescue of drowning migrants so they die before reaching land is one such policy.

Do you think people who speak English, would have read the text in German? No.
The words are slightly different, but they have the same meaning. What do you think he means by it? Or when he calls immigrants criminals, murderers, rapists, animals, and “not human”?

They are literally doing eugenics at migrant detention camps. “A for-profit ICE detention center forced sterilization procedures on immigrant women”
What about when Trump had dinner with a well-known antisemitic fascist?
Why do you think white supremacist, neo-nazi hate groups choose to support Trump?
Project 2025 lines out a set of actions very similar to those the German Nazi party did to install an authoritarian regime after gaining power.
To say Trump is Hitler would of course be ridiculous. However, their ideologies are similar, and modern day fascists are rallying behind Trump.
It’s gross.
