Let’s play a game! Which of these quotes are Trump’s, and which are Hitler’s?
-
“Jews and migrants are poisoning Aryan blood,”
-
“They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done,”
-
“I will get rid of the communist vermin”
-
“They’re coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia, over the world. They’re pouring into our country.”
-
“I will take care of the enemy within”
-
“We pledge to you that 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 … The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within.”
-
“One people, one realm, one leader.”
Here is the answer key: Every other one is a Hitler quote, starting with the first one. And yet, these quotes are in significant overlap. We shouldn’t have a president who is taking a page out of Hitler’s book.
