Donald Trump paraphrases ADOLF HITLER by telling rally that migrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’: Phrase first appeared in führer book Mein Kampf
Trump told his MAGA groupies that migrants from “all over the world” are “poisoning the blood of our country” – a phrase he borrowed from Hitler.
At one collection in New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump stood before a crowd of MAGA Republicans and said illegal immigrants were “poisoning mental institutions and prisons around the world.”
Although he did not address how migrants “poison” mental institutions and prisons, Trump's words are similar to those of Adolf Hitler, who used the same phrase in his book Mein Kampf.
“All the great cultures of the past have perished only because the original creative race has become extinct through blood poisoning,” the German dictator wrote in his 1925 manifesto.

Trump's words are similar to those of Adolf Hitler, who used the same sentence in his book Mein Kampf: “All the great cultures of the past perished only because the original creative race became extinct from blood poisoning.”
Trump also told his followers, “We've got a lot of work to do – you know, if they let it, I think the real number is 15, 16 million people coming into our country. If they do, we have a lot of work to do.”
It is unclear where he got this figure from, because the US Customs and Border Protection reported that three million migrants crossed the border in 2023 – not 15 or 16 million, as Trump claimed.
He explained that the migrants had “poisoned” mental institutions and prisons “all over the world” – not just in South America and not just in the “three or four countries we are thinking about.”
Trump said immigrants are “pouring into our country” from Africa, Asia and around the world. He even claimed that 'no one even looks at them, they just come in'.
The former president then ranted incoherently: “Crime is going to be huge, terrorism is going to be huge, terrorism will… and we built a huge section of the wall and then we're going to build more and the election was rigged.
“We didn't do it, but I thought they were just going to throw it up – it was all built, it was all ready to just be lifted up. The exact wall where the Border Patrol, who are incredible, Brandon Judd and all the people at the Border Patrol, designed exactly that.”
By the time Biden took office in January 2021, only 450 miles of wall had been built, and only 40 miles of that wall was brand new, most of it replacing the old fencing — so Trump's claims that the wall was “all built” are true not.
These 458 miles are a fraction of the 1,954 mile US-Mexico border, POLITICS reported.
This isn't the first time Trump has been compared to the leader of the Nazis – Hillary Clinton made a direct comparison between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler as she claimed the former president's victory in 2024 would lead to 'almost unimaginable destruction' for America.
She drew parallels between how the Nazi leader became a dictator and what she said were Trump's “dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies” that would lead to “the end of our country as we know it.”

The former president then ranted incoherently: “Crime will be enormous, terrorism will be enormous, terrorism will… and we've built a huge section of the wall and then we're going to build more and the election was rigged.”
Trump used the same phrase back in October — prompting former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera to denounce the former president for claiming migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” and expressing shock at the “extraordinary, hateful , Hitler-esque quote'. '
Trump received surprised reactions from critics after making the comment in a video interview in October, in which he repeated his previous claims that migrants are criminals, insane, terrorists and the sick.
'No one has any idea where these people come from. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they are terrorists,” Trump said in an interview with The National Pulse, a right-wing website.
“It poisons the blood of our country. It's so bad, and people are coming in with diseases. People come in with everything you can possibly have,” said Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
Rivera, a veteran journalist and commentator, branded the comment “disgusting” in a post on of falsely claiming that immigrants carry diseases.”
