Trump Denies Reading Mein Kampf, Criticizes Immigrants and Faces Republican Backlash
Former President Donald Trump denied comparisons to dictators like Adolf Hitler, while reiterating his claim that undocumented immigrants are "destroying the blood of our country." Trump denied ever reading Hitler's political manifesto, "Mein Kampf," but has faced backlash for suggesting that undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of the country. Despite the comparisons, Trump has repeated similar statements multiple times. He has previously used dehumanizing rhetoric towards undocumented immigrants and expressed admiration for strongmen. Concerns have been raised about a potential second Trump term being more extreme than the first. Trump remains the frontrunner in GOP polls for the 2024 presidential race.
