Washington sources reported that former US president donald trump, who has come under attack for his remarks on immigrants, which some say are reminiscent of Nazi philosophy, says he’s never read Adolf Hitler’s manifesto “Mein Kampf.” “It’s true that they’re destroying the blood of our country. That’s what they’re doing they’re destroying our country,” the 77-year-old Republican said late tuesday at a rally in Iowa. trump, who is the clear frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, made similar comments over the weekend, causing backlash, with a white house spokesperson accusing him of “echoing the grotesque rhetoric of fascists and violent white supremacists.”

Earlier President Joe Biden accused the Republican of echoing Hitler when he described political opponents as “vermin.” On tuesday night, trump denied any parallels. “I never read ‘Mein Kampf’,” he was quoted as saying by AFP. The former US President added that the Nazi leader used such language “in a much different way.”


A Biden campaign account on X, on Wednesday, published a graphic juxtaposing three comments from trump and statements from Hitler. “This is not a coincidence,” the Biden camp said. Trump’s rhetoric has put republican party heavyweights in a highly uncomfortable position. Top Republican senator Mitch McConnell has publicly slammed Trump’s remarks. During his first white house campaign, trump in 2015 said some immigrants from mexico were “bringing crime” and “rapists.” He then made his infamous pledge to build a huge wall along the US-Mexico border to keep migrants out.
