One of the most overused ways to attack a political opponent in America is to liken them to Adolf Hitler. Former President Donald Trump bears the unusual distinction of rightfully earning the comparison. And as 2024 looms, his evocations of Nazism have become disturbingly verbatim.

"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 said. "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 subsequently doubled down on the claim on Truth Social, where he wrote, "Illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation." This is a preview of Zeeshan Aleem's latest article.
