Trump's Immigrant 'Blood' Remark: A Controversial Comparison to Hitler

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump has faced criticism for doubling down on his controversial remarks about immigration, suggesting that immigrants entering the US are "destroying the blood of our country." Trump's comments drew comparisons to Adolf Hitler's use of the term "blood poisoning" in his manifesto "Mein Kampf." Some Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Mike Rounds, criticized Trump's rhetoric, while Trump himself brushed off the comparison, claiming he had "never read Mein Kampf." This is not the first time Trump has invoked "the blood of our country" when making derogatory comments about immigrants.
