Biden Condemns Trump's 'Nazi-like' Rhetoric

Trump's Campaign Dismisses Association, While Historians See Parallels

President Joe Biden has criticized former President Donald Trump for using language reminiscent of Nazi Germany, including referring to political opponents as 'vermin' and immigrants as 'poisoning the blood of our country.'
Trump's campaign has dismissed any association between his rhetoric and that of infamous 20th-century dictators like Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini.
Biden's criticism reflects his larger argument for why Trump is unqualified for the presidency, suggesting he is a 'MAGA' extremist who could harm American democracy.
Trump, for his part, has warned that Biden doesn’t deserve a second term because of what Trump calls his mishandling of border security, foreign policy, energy independence, inflation and more.
Some historians agree with Biden that Trump's language carries a specific connotation, particularly reminiscent of Hitler's rants against Marxists and socialists.
