Says immigrants are 'poisoning the blood of our country' at New Hampshire rally

At a rally in Durham, New Hampshire, Trump said immigrants are 'poisoning the blood of our country,' language that directly echoed Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' references to racial purity. He added that immigrants were coming from 'Africa, from Asia... all over the world' and were 'destroying the blood of our country.' When confronted about the Nazi parallels, Trump denied having read 'Mein Kampf' but repeated the phrase multiple times in subsequent appearances.

“They're poisoning the blood of our country. That's what they've done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world... They're destroying the blood of our country.” — Campaign rally, Durham, New Hampshire, December 16, 2023
