Trump Denies Echoing Hitler's Rhetoric in Immigration Comments

Former president faces backlash for 'poisoning the blood' phrase, pledges 'largest domestic deportation effort in American history'.

Former President Donald Trump has been accused of using language similar to Adolf Hitler's in his recent comments about immigrants, which he denies, claiming he has never read Hitler's works.
Trump's comments about immigrants 'poisoning the blood of our country' have been linked to Hitler's concept of 'contamination of the blood' articulated in 'Mein Kampf'.
Trump has made specific campaign promises to carry out what he calls the 'largest domestic deportation effort in American history', including the use of the military.
Trump faces 91 criminal charges, many of them due to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
Trump has indicated he may participate in Republican presidential primary debates if the race is 'very close', but believes this is unlikely to happen.
