Trump Echoes Hitler

Trump Echoes Hitler, Threatens to Rid America of 'Vermin' from Within
11/11/23


On multiple occasions on Veterans Day, Donald Trump echoed Adolf Hitler in a series of attacks his political opponents, implying they are more dangerous than any “outside forces” and compared them to "vermin."

Trump painted his political opponent as “communists, Marxists, fascists, and radical left thugs.” These are all common attacks Trump uses for Democratic and judicial opponents.

Trump claimed “threats from outside forces” are “far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within.” Trump is claiming his political opponents are a greater threat than terrorists and extremists who wish to kill Americans.

In a way, Trump is implying his fight is more challenging than the foreign adversaries veterans have fought.

After echoing Hitler in his Veterans Day post on his social media account, Trump then made near verbatim comments during his rally on Saturday in Claremont, New Hampshire.

Today, especially, in honor of our great veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you we will 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 and will do anything possible, they'll do anything, whether legal or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American dream. The real threat is not from the radical right, the real threat is from the radical left, and it's growing every day, every single day. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within.

Like Trump, Adolf Hitler infamously targeted the "enemies within" Germany, chiefly singling out communists and Jews. History.com recounts, "[Hitler] was appalled by Germany’s defeat [in WW1], which he blamed on “enemies within”–chiefly German communists and Jews–and was enraged by the punitive peace settlement forced on Germany by the victorious Allies.

Regarding his strategy at the time, Hitler noted, "Our strategy is to destroy the enemy from within, to conquer him through himself."

Hitler and the Nazis, like Trump, also compared the "enemies within" Germany to vermin.

The Jewish Daily Bulletin from February 15, 1933 ran a header stating, "Nazi Leader Would Rid Germany of 'Jewish Vermin'"

"Germany is urged to get rid of its “Jewish vermin”, in an election article published in the “Hamburg Beobachter,” Nazi organ, by Wilhelm Kube, leader of the Nazi fraction of the Prussian Diet, which was dissolved last week," the paper said.

This isn’t the first time Trump has echoed Hitler. Trump recently claimed migrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,” rhetoric almost directly pulled from Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

Trump also posted a murky Veterans Day post that read, in part, “The full measure of your sacrifice …may not be fully understood and appreciated.” Trump struggles with holidays.

Trump's Hitleresque comments come on the same day that The New York Times reported Trump's plan for "sweeping raids, giant camps and mass deportations" should he be reelected in 2024. Trump's son, Don Jr., openly affirmed the headline and celebrated the idea that his father would throw people in America into camps.

"They say it like it's a bad thing," Don Jr. wrote on X alongside a screenshot of the Times piece.

It is not hyperbolic to say that Donald Trump is using the Hitler playbook for his 2024 run. And such claims don't come out of thin air. In addition to the near verbatim language described above, multiple people close to Trump have spoken out about his obsession with the Nazi leader.

Then-White House chief of staff Gen. John Kelly wrote in his book that Trump praised Hitler during a trip to Europe. “Well, Hitler did a lot of good things,” Trump told Kelly during a 2018 visit to Europe to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, according to the book.

In a 1990 Vanity Fair article, Donald Trump's first wife Ivana Trump revealed that Donald "reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.”

Just as Adolf Hitler told the world exactly what he had planned as he sought power, so too is Donald Trump.

It's incumbent on all of us, and the legacy media, to report the danger of this moment and sound the alarm before it's too late.

To commemorate Veterans Day, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to rail against leftist “vermin” and perpetuate his lies of election fraud. On Saturday, the 2024 GOP candidate wrote that he would “root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country, lie, steal, and cheat on Elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American Dream.” The online rant, perhaps created more for MAGA pandering than honoring military vets, continued, “The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within. Despite the hatred and anger of the Radical Left Lunatics who want to destroy our Country, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
