America's Hitler: Donald Trump

JD Vance was right: "Donald Trump IS America's Hitler." "Poisoning the Blood," Blood Sacrifices," and "Blaming the Jews" are no offhand remarks. They are the essence of "Mein Kampf" and of "MAGA."

(The cover of 14th Sentry Edition of Mein Kampf, published by the Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, Mass; originally in 1943, with copyright renewal in 1971. Translated by Ralph Manheim. All quotes of Hitler’s writings, are taken verbatim from this edition, with pages indicated. Hitler wrote the hateful, anti-Semitic screed 100 years ago, and it was published in 1925—the forerunner to MAGA’s PROJECT 2025.)

Donald Trump is celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Adolf Hitler’s “ Mein Kampf” by plagiarizing Hitler’s hate-filled, violence-inciting screeds, written by the deranged sociopath and mass murderer, while the Nazi leader served time in Landsberg Am Lech Fortress Prison in Germany, for attempting to overthrow the government of Germany. Trump’s repeated uses of Hitler’s phrases “poisoning the blood” and “vermin,” are directly from the propaganda playbook of the most evil enemy the United States has ever faced, responsible for slaughtering six million Jews, killing hundreds of thousands of US soldiers, and encouraging violent acts against millions more, from 1933-1945, through Europe and around the world.

Within the closing weeks of the 2024 Presidential Campaign, during which Trump has directly expressed his desire to become a dictator, jettison the US Constitution and use the US Military against his “enemies within,” former head of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley has called Trump a “Fascist to the core,” and Trump’s former Chief of Staff General John Kelly told the New York Times that Trump “fits the definition of a Fascist.”

Just this past week (October 22, 2024), The Atlantic, in an article entitled “Trump: I Need the Kind of Generals that Hitler Had,” General Kelly is quoted as saying that Trump said:

‘Well, but Hitler did some good things,’” Kelly recalled Trump said. “I said, ‘Well, what?’ And he said, ‘Well, (Hitler) rebuilt the economy.’ But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world.” Kelly admonished Trump: “I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing.’”

However, Trump continues to use every canard created by Hitler, “blaming the Jews” who don’t vote for him, if he loses the 2024 Election, and repeatedly vowing to use the American military to hunt down and punish his enemies, just as Hitler did against the Jews and his other perceived “enemies” in Germany.

Later this month, Trump is scheduled to hold a rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden, where, in 1939, the pro-Nazi German American Bund movement held a rally of some 20,000 Swastika-waving fanatics “to proclaim the rights of white gentiles,” whom they declared to be the “true patriots.” According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, “the crowd consistently booed President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and chanted the Nazi salutation ‘Heil Hitler.”

Here, I’ve juxtoposed Hitler’s direct quotes from Mein Kampf, with Trump’s quotes from speeches, interviews and articles from June, 2015 to the present day:

From Page 327, Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler: 

“ In heedlessly ignoring the question of the preservation of the racial foundations of our nation, the old Reich disregarded the sole right which gives life in this world.  People which (sic) bastardize themselves, or let themselves be bastardized, sin against the will of eternal Providence, and when their ruin is encompassed by a stronger enemy, it is not an injustice done to them, but only a restoration of justice.  If a people no longer want to respect the Nature-given qualities of its being which root is in its blood, it has no further right to complain over the loss of its’ earthly existence….A new spiritual rebirth can come, AS LONG AS THE BLOOD IS PRESERVED PURE.”

September 27, 2023, Donald Trump in a video interview posted on the conservative website National Pulse:

“Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have .”

From page 289, Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, on “Blood Poisoning:”

  “All great cultures from the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning.” 

December 16, 2023, Whittemore Center Arena, Durham, New Hampshire, Donald Trump on “Blood Poisoning.”

“They let — I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

From page 286, Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler, on mixed-race “defilement of the blood.”

“Historical experience offers countless proofs of this.  It shows with terrifying clarity that in every mingling of Aryan blood with that of lower peoples the result was the end of the cultured people.  North America, whose population consists in by far the largest part of Germanic elements who mixed but little with the lower colored peoples, shows a different humanity and culture from Central and South America, where the predominantly Latin immigrants often mixed with the aborigines of a large scale.  By this one example, we can clearly and distinctly recognize the effect of racial mixture.  The Germanic inhabitant of the American continent, who has remained racially pure and unmixed, rose to be master of the continent; he will remain the master as long as he does not fall a victim to the defilement of the blood.”

November 12, 2023, Veterans Day Speech, Claremont, NH, Donald Trump on “vermin:”

“We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections.”

Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, on dehumanizing Jews:

•    “ All who are not of good race in this world are chaff.” (pg. 296);

•      “If the Jews were alone in this world, they would stifle in filth and offal.” (pg. 302)

•      “He (the Jew) is and remains the typical parasite, a sponge who like a noxious bacillus, keeps spreading as soon as a favorable medium invites him.” (pg. 305)

•      “ He (The Jew) is the “scourge of God.  In the course of a few centuries they have come to know him , and now they feel that the mere fact of his (the Jew’s ) existence is as bad as the plague.”  They are “eternal blood suckers.” (pg. 310)

• “The Jew poisons the blood of others, but preserves his own.” (pg. 316)

June 16, 2015, Announcement of Candidacy Speech for President, Donald Trump, after descending his Golden Escalator at Trump Tower in NYC:

“When Mexico sends its’ people, they’re not sending their best; they’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing their problems with us. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists…And, its coming from more than Mexico. It’s coming from all over South and Latin America, and from the Middle East…”

From page 562, “Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler on “Jews as Black parasites:”

“Bear in mind the devastations which Jewish bastardization visits on our nation each day, and consider that this BLOOD POISONING can be removed from our national body only after centuries, if at all.  Consider further how racial disintegration drags down and often destroys the last Aryan values of our German people…THIS CONTAMINATION OF OUR BLOOD, BLINDLY IGNORED BY THOUSANDS OF OUR PEOPLE IS CARRIED OUT SYSTEMATICALLY BY THE JEW TODAY.  SYSTEMATICALLY, THESE BLACK PARASITES OF THE NATION DEFILE OUR INEXPERIENCED YOUNG BLOND GIRLS AND THEREBY DESTROY SOMETHING WHICH CAN NO LONGER BE REPLACED IN THIS WORLD.”

January 11, 2018, Donald Trump in Oval Office Meeting discussing immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries: (as reported in Washington Post, by Josh Dawsey):

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out.”

Six years, later, during the only Presidential debate with Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris, Trump spread pernicious lies about Haitians living in Springfield, Ohio, that they were : “eating the cats, eating the dogs, eating the pets.”

From page 325, Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler on Blacks and Jews defiling Germany:

“With Satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in the wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her people.  With every means he tries to destroy the racial foundations of the people he has set out to subjugate.  Just as he himself systematically ruins women and girls, he does not shrink back from pulling down the blood barrier for others, even on a large scale.  It was and is Jews who bring the Negroes to the Rhineland, always with the same secret thought and clear aim of RUINING THE HATED WHITE RACE by the necessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from its’ cultural and political height, and himself rising to be its’ master…And so, he tries systematically to lower the racial level by a continuous poisoning of individuals.”

Similarly, in his Veterans Day speech delivered in New Hampshire last year—supposedly honoring thousands of American Veterans who sacrificed their lives fighting Hitler, and Fascism—Trump targeted many groups long tagged by tyrants like Hitler, Mussolini and Joseph McCarthy as “fellow travelers” of Jews:  “radical leftists,” “sinister, dangerous forces from within,” “communists,” “Marxists” and, “thugs.” In every major speech over the past year, Trump has repeated his mantra calling his enemies “communists, socialists, leftists and Marxists.”

In Mein Kampf, Hitler’s deranged diatribe against the Jews and “liberal” society,  the Fascist mass-murderer explodes with the same kind of vitriol that Trump and his MAGA-Nazis use against many of their imagined contemporary enemies.  Sounding much like Trump, Hitler rants:

“…all at once the Jew also becomes liberal and begins to rave about the progress of mankind…Slowly, he makes himself the spokesman for a new era…To strengthen his political position he tries to tear down the racial and civil barriers…To this end, he fights with all the tenacity innate to the Jew, for religious tolerance; …another weapon in service to the Jews is the Press; the Jew talks of ‘enlightenment,’ ‘progress’, ‘freedom,’ ‘humanity’...and of the equality of all men without regard to race  and color.  He (The Jew) poisons the blood of others, but preserves his own.” (From, section of Mein Kampf entitled “Development of Jewry”)

Michael Tomasky, writing in The New Republic on November 12, 2023, is right to point out the difference in Trump’s Veterans Day version of “Mein Kampf,” :

“Trump, let us clarify, does not mention the Jews.  He means SOME Jews—the ones who aren’t for him, which, come to think of it, is most (American) Jews.”

And at an event dedicated to combatting Anti-Semitism held in Washington just one month ago (September, 2024) Trump whined that he was “not treated right by Jewish voters,” stating:

“I’m not going to call this a prediction, but in my opinion, the Jewish People would have a lot to do with a loss if I’m at 40%.”

Adolf Hitler couldn’t have articulated it any more clearly than his Apprentice did.
