At a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday, Trump said: “They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America. Not just the three or four countries we think about.”
“But all over the world they’re coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia.”
President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has focused on Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.
In a release on Tuesday, the Biden campaign said: “Donald Trump is parroting autocrats like Hitler and Mussolini, claiming that immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ and calling his political enemies ‘vermin.'”
This is not the first time that the Republic front-runner has been accused of seeking inspiration from the Nazi dictator.
In a Vanity Fair article from September 1990, which has been widely cited in the wake of his latest remarks, his former wife claimed he used to keep a book of Hitler’s speeches in a cabinet by his bed.
The article said: “Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.”
