[AFP = Current Affairs] Former US President Donald Trump, 77, has come under severe criticism for his comments about illegal immigration that are reminiscent of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.) said on the 19th that he had never read Hitler's book Mein Kampf.
After Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, previously described his political opponent as a "vermin," President Joe Biden, who may face him again in the next presidential election, has said that he is Hitler. He criticized him for saying it was the same as his statement.
However, on the 19th, at a rally in Iowa, Trump denied any similarities to Hitler. "I have never read 'Mein Kampf,'" he said, insisting that his use of words was "very different" from Hitler's.
Undaunted, he used language to further stir up anti-immigrant sentiment, saying, "It's true that they (illegal immigrants) are spoiling the blood of our country. They're destroying our country."
Mr. Trump sparked a storm of criticism with similar remarks last weekend. A Biden administration spokesperson denounced the move, calling it "the same grotesque language used by fascists and violent white supremacists."
Also, on the 20th, the Biden campaign's X (formerly Twitter) account, which is gearing up for the 2024 presidential election, posted an image of three quotes from Trump and three from Hitler. ``This is not a coincidence,'' he added.
