"They're poisoning the blood of our country." --Donald Trump. He went on to say that it's people from South America, Africa and Asia who are "poisoning the blood of our country."

Someone else once talked as Trump does, about how others, to include those who come from outside the country, poisoned the pure nation.
"in North America the Teutonic element, which has kept its racial stock pure and did not mix it with any other racial stock, has come to dominate the American Continent and will remain master of it as long as that element does not fall a victim to the habit of adulterating its blood . . . All the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out, as a result of contamination of the blood . . . [The Jew] poisons the blood of others . . . the poison which has invaded the national body, especially since the Thirty Years' War, has destroyed the uniform constitution not only of our blood but also of our national soul. The open frontiers of our native country, the association with non-German foreign elements in the territories that lie all along those frontiers, and especially the strong influx of foreign blood into the interior of the REICH itself . . . Bear in mind the fact that this poisonous contamination can be eliminated from the national body only after centuries, or perhapsnever. Think further of how the process of racial decomposition is debasing and in some cases even destroying the fundamental Aryan qualities of our German people . . . The drop of poison which thus enters the blood of a nation will be transmitted to posterity. It will undermine and paralyse the strength of later generations." --Hitler, Mein Kampf.
I have said that Donald Trump rose to power by saying bad things about people his followers did not like, and that it was not a new idea. As you can see, nothing new about it at all.
In 2016 I described those people he attacked as "The 3Ms (Mexicans, Muslims and Media). He certainly has not dropped them. But today he invokes the language of Hitler to include Africans, Asians and South Americans. In short, anyone who is not white. Trump argues their coming into our country poisons the blood of our nation invoking the same racist metaphors Hitler did.
It's appalling, and dangerous. It comes from a man who openly acknowledges he wishes to be a dictator. I'd like to think that America is a better nation than one that would even consider such a man for the awesome powers of the Presidency.
I'd like to think that, but I would obviously be wrong.
