Trump told his MAGA groupies that migrants from 'all over the world' are 'poisoning the blood of our country' - a phrase he copied from Hitler.
At a rally in New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump stood in front of a crowd of MAGA Republicans and said that illegal immigrants 'poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world'.
Although he didn't elaborate on how migrants are 'poisoning' mental institutions and prisons - Trump's words resemble those of Adolf Hitler, who famously used the same phrase in his book Mein Kampf.
'All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,' the German dictator wrote in his 1925 manifesto.

Trump also told his followers: 'We've got a lot of work to do - you know, when they let, I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that - we've got a lot of work to do.'
It's unclear where he got this figure from because the U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that three million migrants have crossed the border in 2023 - not 15 or 16 million, as Trump claimed.
He elaborated that the migrants had 'poisoned' mental institutions and prisons 'all over the world' - not just in South America and not just the 'three or four countries that we think about'.
Trump said immigrants are 'pouring into our country' from Africa, Asia and all over the world. He even claimed that 'nobody is even looking at them, they just come in'.
The former President then incoherently ranted: 'The crime is going to tremendous, the terrorism is going to be, terrorism is going to be... and we built a tremendous piece of the wall and then we're going to build more and the election was rigged.
'We didn't do it but I figured they'd just throw it up - it was all built, it was all ready to be just hoisted up. The exact wall that the border patrol who are incredible, Brandon Judd and all of the people at border patrol - that's exactly what they designed.'
By the time Biden took office in January 2021 only 452 miles of wall had been constructed and only 40 miles of that wall was brand new, most of it replaced old fencing - so Trump's claims that the wall was 'all built' are not accurate.
This 458 miles is a fraction of the 1,954 mile border between the US and Mexico, POLITICO reported.
This isn't the first time Trump has been likened to the leader of the Nazis - Hillary Clinton made a direct comparison between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler as she claimed the former president winning in 2024 would lead to 'almost unimaginable wreckage' for America.
She drew parallels between how the Nazi leader became a dictator and what she claimed were Trump's 'dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies' which would lead to the 'end of our country as we know it'.

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 his shock at the 'extraordinary, hateful, Hitler-like quote.'
Trump drew astonished backlash from critics after making the remark in an October video interview where he repeated his prior claims that migrants are criminals, insane, terrorists and diseased.
'Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they're terrorists,' Trump said in the interview with The National Pulse, a right-leaning website.
'It's poisoning the blood of our country. It's so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have,' said Trump, the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination.
Rivera, a veteran journalist and commentator, slammed the comment as 'disgusting' in a post on X, adding: 'Not only does it harken back to the Nazi-era, it is also part of the shameful, vile, centuries old tradition of claiming falsely that immigrants carry diseases.'
