Trump's rhetoric in final campaign sprint goes to new dark extremes

(CNN)-- Donald Trump’s rhetoric dropped to a spine-tingling new low this weekend with less than a month before the Iowa caucuses.

The GOP primary front-runner said migrants are “poisoning the blood” of the US and quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin about the “rottenness” of American democracy.

Whipping up thousands of supporters at a New Hampshire hockey rink on Saturday, the former president again drew comparisons to the language of Nazi Germany with the comments about migrants from mostly Africa, Asia and South America “poisoning the blood of our country.”

and showed you the top two paragraphs of that story:

"The GOP primary front-runner said migrants are “poisoning the blood” of the US and quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin about the “rottenness” of American democracy.

Whipping up thousands of supporters at a New Hampshire hockey rink on Saturday, the former president again drew comparisons to the language of Nazi Germany with the comments about migrants from mostly Africa, Asia and South America “poisoning the blood of our country.”"


and said 'this is your future'

wouldn't that freak you the fuck out?

Even Hitler himself came into office legally with a loud and violent minority of the voters.

Michael Boulos has an Arab dad and white mom and is married to Tiffany Trump. I know this has nothing to do with anything but I would like to troll racist MAGAts with it because I'm petty.
