TL;DR

Former President Donald Trump evoked Hitler's rhetoric by using phrases like "poisoning the blood" during an anti-immigrant rant at a rally in New Hampshire. He claimed that immigrants were "poisoning mental institutions and prisons" and coming into the country from Africa and Asia. This comes after Trump declared that he would act as a "dictator" if reelected, and plans to send troops to close the southern border and build immigrant detention camps. Trump also praised Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping while criticizing President Joe Biden. Critics warn that Trump's use of dangerous speech normalizes and endangers immigrants in the US.
