The Biden campaign fiercely denounced Donald Trump following his caustic remarks aimed at immigrants Saturday, saying the former president “parroted Hitler.”

“Tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.

Trump on Saturday ratcheted up his already inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

      TBF, it’s not hard to parrot Hitler. When they put emphasis on him being a former corporal, that’s because he behaved like a pretty mundane former corporal. Was a born orator, though, which is hard to attribute to Trump.

      Now Goebbels himself was more dramatic and original and just as good an orator as Hitler. Which means he’s being regularly revisited by modern politicians for his efficiency, and not because of just being mundane.

        I say this as someone who opposes him utterly: Trump used to actually be a decent orator. It’s… kinda sad, and kinda scary, in a way. I watched an interview he did from… sometime in the 80s, I want to say. I didn’t agree with everything he said, but he seemed well composed and he made his points coherently.

        Compare that to how he is nowadays and it’s like it’s not even the same man. Not just the raging psychopathy and egomania, but how he wanders off mid sentence and such. The cognitive decline is painfully obvious. When you figure this is a guy who had access to the best possible modern medicine his entire life, it’s scary to see.

            In elections, it’s about choosing the candidate with fewer flaws and moral imperfections, even if not perfect. The lesser of two evils is often the better choice.

                    Doesn’t matter when your political efficacy and rhetoric is almost the exact same as No Labels but with more genocide talk.

                    But yeah, keep up the smarmy talk about an american genocide being not enough to vote against.

        What is that even supposed to mean? Do you disagree with the statement that Trump has been repeating Nazi rhetoric?

          You’re assuming logic, reasoning, and reasonability are something common to people of their ilk. Which in my experience is not the case.
